You're correct in thninking that Super Reading is most often required. There may be a day when you have the process so ingrained that manual activation isn't necessary. I'm sure that's where most of us want to be (and most of us thought the course would get us) but we weren't paying close enough attention to the LS literature.
What you will find is that you zero in on the information MUCH more rapidly than you would have under your old process. Super reading will get you the relevant information very quickly if you can just pay attention to the inner signals that say, "THIS IS IT! THIS IS IMPORTANT!"
