...my theory is that everyone can. i mean, i've never meet anyone that couldn't. personally, i think it's just sent around to make people feel special... although i can't for the life of me figure out why 55% would make anyone feel special... after all, it's still over half of society. but maybe that fact says more about human nature than "study" does.

You are probably right...
So does that mean that maybe the 45% that cannot read this are the extraordinary ones?
Maybe its because they don't see the world in the same way as everyone else.
I don't know, I'm going to do laundry now.
