That's not what "dense" means to me. Maybe it's just my mathematician bias, but I don't consider a text where less than 50% of the words are precise and non-trivially functional to be "dense".

Ah, I suppose if it's artificially created for whatever specific speed-test environment or something. But I just assume they would use the real structure of language for those. So I took his use of dense as being a somewhat redundant descriptor with scientific language(though likely leaning more towards heavily polysyllabic words). I figure, if one interpretation of the words he used leads to what he said making sense, and another leads to it not making sense, why assume he meant the latter?

Not to mention we're almost all Autistic here, so having random individual 'off the charts' abilities is gonna be pretty much the norm.
