It sounds to me like they evaluated the system without trying it themselves.
Your eye doesn't need to be focused on the words to Photoread. The point of Photofocus (Alex, correct me if I'm wrong) is to set your gaze so that the right brain can load the information subconsciously. The Activation techniques then bring that information out to the left brain where you have conscious access to it.
