Figured out something: all the “estimated reading times” are actually accurate even though they seem wildly off. They’re just “pretend to have read” times. For actual somewhat-attentive reading multiply by 5. For things which actually have the depth to sustain close reading, 10x.

Reading a book once is not enough most of the time. Doubly so for non fiction. Triply so if you don't take notes
