But I don't believe this eye-crossing font would help retention. It would put me, for one, off reading in the first place.

This. In spades. Some aspects of font "readability" may be subjective...I prefer a serif font, many readers prefer non-serif. But the example given would be a huge turn off for me, even if it were just a couple of sentences. It would be like a brick wall for my brain. Just wham!
We got a snail mail letter from our ymca last year, that was done in an all caps heavy font face. I think the person who designed it thought that would help because it was lengthy, but all on one page, so the font size was small. It was pretty much unreadable.
