Thanks. This is interesting (and somewhat related to a Stanford thesis done by Steve Wyer ca 1980). And it has the fun irony of presenting a rather abstract result in the medium it says emphasizes concreteness ...

It would be good to know if they have tried studies that involve grades of reading fluency.
