The authors of the article are smuggling in the assumption that 10bits/s is slow. It's slow when compared to general computing system that we implemented in silicon substrate. But this assumption doesn't translate linearly to the brain throughput and the perception of existence. In my opinion the hypothesis is meaningless. That is not to say the article is meaningless. Actually being able to measure brain information throughput is amazing. It's only that slowness isn't absolute.
