I said suggests, not proves. The point of the word "suggests" is precisely to acknowledge compactly that one can easily raise objections such as the one you raised.
You seem to be referring to speeds at which the phonemes become indistinguishable. But that doesn't happen at double speed, which is what I was talking about. Nor is that the pitfall we were talking about, because the pitfall was that certain content rich texts might be too hard to comprehend at double speed. Rich content isn't a fact about the phonemes.
