Have you ever read a book where you remember character dialog and later re-read the book and can not find the phrases the print?

never.
just as skipping words or parts of text isn't "reading" but "a quick glance" for me. something i might use before buying a book. you cheat calling it reading. skipping hinders absorbtion, since you need a short countercheck if the part is skippable at all
as i said, i can pause textual data input and start to extrapolate additional outputs (audiovisual, world model, presented magic model, connections between chars, etc.) [this happens frequently enough, since it lasts only 1.5-3 sec. per action. it also gives me a short rest in pure text absorption] from it but i never screw the original data feed so much, that my imagination needs to replace skipped parts with self-created ones.
