Yes, it seems in last 25 years people still arguing about Sans vs Serif. Probably what you are used to reading novels works best? But an unscientific guess.
I always read very fast and never felt any issue of comprehension. Actually learning text to recite it later was a problem. I found when I had to do proof reading for errors I had to learn to read slower as otherwise I'd
imagine what ought to be there and miss mistakes:
Missing prepositions.
Missing punctuation.
Missing letters actual type: he, her, place, discus
Intended words: her, here, palace, discuss
Mistyped correct words: think <-> thing etc.
Of course near proof AI is imaginary as Spelling & Grammar checking tools only marginally better than best 30 years ago and proof reading is mandatory. In reality almost all AI is simply pattern matching (not recognition, that needs sentience) usually employing a human curated database. The only thing much changed in 40 years is how the database is built (so-called Machine Learning and Neural Networks, both lying terms because there is no connection to animal learning or real brains)
