The truly relevant portion is the last sentence from TFS:
The timing mattered, though: only those who'd watched the 2x video for a second time immediately before a test, rather than right after the first viewing, got this advantage.
Of course people who revisit the material IMMEDIATELY BEFORE BEING TESTED ON IT will remember it better...
This qualifies as journalism these days.
It's difficult to gain access to the paper as it's behind a paywall, but if you can access it you can see that you have dismissed the nuance. The key is that the study found that students can watch the material twice at 2x, and if the second 2x session occurs shortly before a test on the material the students do better. Which is basically what you stated, Now here is the nuance: 1: The researchers clearly stated that expected improvement with this method. 2: Most of the students self-reported not listening to lectures at 2x speed.
