No, not necessary period. Because; Reading is done with the brain not the eyes. However your eyes see it, your brain knows how to understand it. The letters make the same patterns in blurred form. So identifying them is easy enough for the brain. (same eyes same brain and same consistant letter shapes).
So how you see it is how you see it and that's fine.
As Paul stated in the book
"When in Photofocus, the print on the page is probably blurred. That is okay, because to see the blip, you must place your focal plane at some distance away."
I'd like to emphasis "When in Photofocus,
As long as you are in Photofocus you are photoreading.
As I already said, just relax keep using it just like any muscle exercised it improves in other ways as well, not just for the exercises.
Blurred - thats's great for photoreading.
With surreal clarity - that's great for photoreading and shows that the muscle has developed.
Like the ability to use exercise equipment... at first it is slower more cumbersome but you still reap astonishing rewards... later as the muscles have gotten used to it your stamina builds and there is a sort of ease in your using the exercise equipment. The reward then is the consistency of your being able to perform the exercise.
You don't think that just because you haven't experienced the mastery of someone who has used the exercise equipment for some months,(their muscles performing in a more relaxed fluid manner than the beginner) that you cannot start using the gear with your level of mastery? As ironic as it sounds the most noticable rewards are at the beginning after that the continued exercise is just staying in the flow.
Same with photoreading. The blurred blip page brings heaps of rewards. The later clarity when you photoread is just the sign that your muscles and mind are now used to it and in the flow. You just do it. So please don't get hung up on it.
