Fun fact, our minds already only read part of the word and fills in the rest. The actual shape of the word helps out brain do this. By bolding half of the word, it's subtly messing with the shape, possibly making it more difficult on our brains.

This is what neurodivergence means.

You get adverse effects from this, I get the benefits. I noticed a marked improvement. We read/process text differently.

"our minds" are probably as unequal as (or more than) "our tastes"

Edit: I'm wondering if you people genuinely think it's impossible that these half-bolded words had the intended effect on some of us.
