His preferred context, your preferred context, my preferred context are not inherent parts of reading. It would still be reading in some other contexts.

But my point was that the articles reading_context_1 is of course not all possible ways to consume text. We can have reading_context_2 and my point was that this the author might have missed. But a lot of people here have missed that a context is necessary for this discussion and that just consuming text is not what the article was about.
