I just caught myself reading the title again as I was scanning the front page, and I actually found that I started reading it at middle where the interesting words are: "the human mind ignore...", and only momentarily glanced back at "Why does" for framing once I had already started reading. So to perhaps needlessly expand on what /u/TyrannicalDuck said algorithmically, rather than reading the words in a sentence from left to right, you glance at a sentence, estimate which parts will give you the most understanding the most quickly, start reading those, updating which parts you need to focus on next based on the information you've taken in, always focussing on the most salient parts of what you're reading, and when you estimate that you've understood that part of the sentence well enough, immediately move on to the next part. Probably similar to how the human eye takes in anything. So the articles are only given focus when skimming has failed entirely.
