That's not reading. That's guessing. Look up the "three cueing system" for reading. It's a workaround for bad readers. You're saying that people can read music, unless the music does something unexpected, and then they'd play the wrong thing. And possibly never know it. So they're not reading music at all. Why bother? Can you pronounce these fake words? I'll bet your pronunciation is basically the same as everyone else with a similar accent. Yet none of the middle letters are on your list. That's because you can read. Advocating for guessing what the next note is when sight-reading is terrible advice. You will learn the song wrong and never fully un-learn it.
