Plus it doesn't actually work. That is a carefully constructed couple of paragraphs designed to make it recognisable to the human brain.

You can just as easily write the same paragraphs using the same rules and make difficult to read:

I cnudolt bveliee taht I cloud allucaty urnesnatdd waht I was rndieag.
The pnaonaehml pewor of the hamun mnid, aondcrcig to a rcrheesach at

XY was that supposed to be difficult to read - are you trying to prove the theory or not???

XY, for the most part I can still read that example fairly quickly. The issue comes with reviewing it - I can read it, but because I can't glance at it and quickly pick out key words like "Cambridge" and "research", remembering it is a problem.

Unfortunately some of our posters can't even get the first or last letter correct!
