I don't agree with you. Speed reading exist. Just remember how fast you read in school and in university. It's two different speeds. That skill you can train. It's like going to the gym to train the body. You can train your brain as well. Standart person read with speed 150-200 words per minute, but it's very easy to train speed to 700-1500 words. For example, after some training, I can read with 700-1000 wpm. And as usual, I read 10 books every month. I think it's great.

Does it bother you that there is substantial scientific research showing that no meaningful increase in reading speed is possible without sacrificing comprehension? In essence, showing that speed reading is a hoax?
Speed Reading is just trained a skill. You can train it like a body in exercise room. Reading consists from three steps: decoding text symbols (you should train decode couple words at one glance), comprehensive that text and retention. For speed reading, you should train all these steps. Just think about your reading speed on 7-8 age and on 22 age (in university). Does it have the difference? I think yes, but why? Because it was trained year by year and this skill is trainable. For example, I read before start to learn speed reading 2-3 books a month, but now I read 8-12 books a month. This is my challenge for 2017 year - https://www.goodreads.com/user_challenges/8700342
