It was tested with speakers of five languages, and even dyslexics were conditioned to read technical material at more than 3,000 words-per-minute (wpm), or 10 pages per minute. One page every 6 seconds
Do we even need to officially call "bullshit" when Tim Ferriss posts something, or is it just assumed now?
If you read 10 pages of technical material per minute, you will not have anywhere near as good an understanding of it as someone who read it slowly and carefully. Reading dense technical material at this rate is almost completely worthless (perhaps even worse than worthless, because there is a non-zero probability of the reader fooling himself into thinking he actually does understand it)
