Research indicates that as reading speed increases, comprehension decreases, with some studies suggesting that comprehension can drop below 50% when reading at very high speeds. Therefore, it is unlikely that Alfred's comprehension will be high if he reads at a rate of 2000 words per minute after only a seven-day course.
