I agree the quickest method is unintuitive, but it's simple and fairly quick once one gets the hang of it. Double-tap and slide to auto-highlight seems too error prone unless you would suggest a 'do you want to highlight this?' confirmation button also, which then defeats the purpose. I could see how your proposal would save time if you want to highlight a single word, but I tend to highlight phrases or entire sentences, and sometimes my first double-tap and drag attempt is off. I would be bothered if Sony ever took an interest in releasing updated firmware and introduced such a change.
