Was waiting for this comment, as all the top ones were mostly dismissive of the findings. As someone with ADHD, this is exactly how it feels to me. Increasing the playback speed is like going into a mode where the content of what the speaker is saying becomes the only thing my brain cares about, as opposed to the secondary characteristics like their pauses between words, accent, speaking style, etc.
I don't know if I have ADHD but my brain will very much filter out what it perceives as inefficient waste and replace it with whatever thoughts are important at the time, such as would you get shocked if you put uncooked spaghetti into a live outlet.
