Mike VE9AA:

I agree with you.  After nearly a century of contests, we have figured out
that the optimum speed in major CW contests is 30-35 wpm.  We do slow down
when required, then we go back to what we know works well.

If slowing down was the "key" to success in CW contests, many contesters
would have found that ideal lower speed a long time ago.

Perhaps the person you quoted will aspire to improve his or her skills.
