Indeed... forty really should be altered to thirty or perhaps even twenty. Speed readers zip right through that with no problem. Speed readers also tend to only pick up on certain words or phrases while reading. In starting to read that and noticing a trend two or three lines down... I read the third word in each line to save a bit of time by force of habit. It's just how I tend to read certain things.
