I could read the passage almost as fast as normal text. I didn't have to unscramble the letters, but just guessed from the context and the existence of a few letters in each word.
I've been reading English every day for last fifty years. I think my brain was applying images it knew well to a few hints. It was guessing, jumping to conclusions, without analysing in detail.
The brain can make wrong guesses of course: Consider all those images of Jesus and the Virgin Mary we see in toast and stained walls, and the Face on Mars that we see in a few shadows. And of course, the old optical illusion of "Paris in the the Spring", where the brain ignores the repeated "the".
Intriguing. Thanks for that, original poster.
