Reading that article about Ms. Torres was maddening! Unfortunately I've had artist friends who have had bizarrely similar experiences right here in Minneapolis. Very discouraging.
I thought the whole point of lorem ipsum was to not distract the eye with recognizable text.
Look at a page of lorem ipsum and nothing distracts you from how the text flows over the page. When I tried the Moby Dick sample, I started reading immediately each time I looked at the text.
