I would find the reverse just as unbelievable (and suspect), myself.
As far as tracking overall "progress" goes, I've discovered it serves no useful purpose in my reading. So I turn all progress indicators, page/location counts off and just read. I don't care where I stop--and I find that just
knowing I'm getting "close" to the end is a distraction that causes me to start making assumptions/predictions about what I'm reading that I wouldn't make otherwise. So unless an instructor says; "Don't read beyond page xxx," then I don't really see the point of monitoring progress myself. And if I was enjoying what I was reading, I'd probably ignore that instructor's directions anyway.
