Obviously speed reading does not work for the writer of that article.
I have been a speed reader and could retain books for farther back than I remember.
I learned to read very early because my mother would not read to me as much as I would have liked. (Which would have been all day every day.)
So yes, it is a skill.
Now I do take my time if it is something I need to learn.
Oh and I know many people that read faster than me.
I also know people that read slower than me.
It is just how someone is wired or taught or more than likely both.
All brains process information slightly different.
