This is a pretty sloppy just-so-story for the author's preferences. Mentions the Pulfrich effect, but this is for lateral movements with stationary vision. Author then leaps into a discussion about how this happens every time you "rescan" without giving a single line of evidence that this happens. This is especially dubious given Saccadic Masking[0] meaning there's no perceived visual input while the eyes are in motion. How exactly are we being slowed by the Pulfrich Effect during reading if motion ("lateral motion" required to satisfy the conditions of the effect) is blocked by the brain?
