The physical pain of reading has a definite effect on comprehension. 'Reading' a few words at a time, which isn't really reading, isolates phrases from context, and can make short elliptical phrases almost unintelligible. I'd read over this several times before I connected this "or that" with the previous "No argument with that."
There must be numerous physical and/or neurological conditions which intefere with decently rapid reading, which have _no_ relationship to intelligence (or potential intelligence). As a metaphor: Consider that the Iliad poet might have flunked a high school lit class because he read too slowly and lost his thoughts before he got them down on paper.
