thanks for the great insights, alex!

i was wondering, i heard that 90% of what we read is actually "filler" and only 10% is content conveying a message. is this true and if so, is this partly what could explain the reason photoreading works, because it really breaks down what we need to get out of a book and cuts away "clutter".

i just asked this in some other post, but just in case it doesn't get read, i was also wondering if it is indeed possible to have immediate activation/*understanding* of things that we just read. I have read this on a couple of occasions now and I wonder how much practice it takes to get to this level/ability? i photoread and have no idea what i just read....
