Have you ever asked yourself “how did research get done before LateX?”

Nothing in my comment suggests a bottleneck. It's just a matter of making people a few percentage point more efficient at a very low price.

You referred to it as "the single most cost effective way to speed up math and physics research". I don't think it's so surprising that people are interpreting that to mean you think LaTeX is a bottleneck in the research process.

I guess you intended emphasis on the "cost effective" part of the statement, but not everyone will read it like that (I didn't).

I mean, it wasn't merely emphasis. Likewise, "NBA" is not mere emphasis in the statement "Muggsy Bogues is the shortest person in NBA history".
