Honestly it really depends on how boring parts are. If it’s 1x speed for some content and highly predictable what they are going to say, I for some reason assume I know the rest of the sentence they will say, then use the “extra time” I just gained and let my mind wander. Then I miss the next sentence. So strangely, I can understand things better at a higher speed because it doesn’t give me time for that bad habit. Maybe she is like that too, finding she understands it better if she listens to it faster because it makes her focus better.

I disagree with you completely! Out of principle, I can’t do that, it’s practically skipping ahead!
I did uparrow you, because despite our opposite perspectives, I appreciate your contribution to the discussion.
