I really appreciated this for the insight that I can’t read faster than I can think (this is so obvious in hindsight it’s hard to believe I hadn’t previously considered it!). This gives good context for why I can’t seem to read faster than between 200 and 250 wpm while both reading everything and applying all the techniques I’ve been taught. That I’m only just now learning this despite dabbling over the years at speeding up my reading is surprising to me, but as you say that seems to be because everyone is focused on fragmented reading and maybe is incentivized to ignore limits to give people what they want.

Thank you for your kind comment. This is why I wrote this!
