You are supposed to see with your mind, not your eyes. Eye games won't do a thing, may be fun but that's it. Remember the funnel analogy. Lots of info all turning into one small focus, useless is screened out, useful get's thru.
Most of the words on a page are "the" "it" "a" and words like that. Important words are "seen" in high numbers and as Paul said, the pre-conscious processing starts and the information is churned. If you're hunting and you see 180,742 trees in your view, so what. You're looking for a dear. Speedreading is going like this, "tree, tree, another tree, tree, tree, ..." times a zillion times. PR is like just looking for the dear. Have you ever read a chapter in a book and you realize "I could have said all that in one sentence" well, that's basically what you're doing. Taking all that junk the author throws at you and stripping it down to it's core concepts as fast as can be done. If you want to spend more time on the "artistry" of the words, go ahead but don't do it first on any book.
