There is a strict biological limit on the rate at which incoming information can be comprehended
Neurobiological and cognitive research consistently demonstrates that human information processing and comprehension are constrained by strict physiological and cognitive limits.
Papers 0, 4, and 11 all provide direct neurobiological, cognitive, and theoretical evidence showing that information processing, language comprehension, and cognitive capacity are bounded by neural resources, working memory, and metabolic constraints. No papers refute the claim.

Neurophysiological models demonstrate that human information processing capacity is constrained by neuronal activity, input storage limits, and afferent arrival rates.
