Reminds me of a study done where a test was given with questions that weren't difficult but likely to make a silly error. Around 85% of participants got at least one question wrong, but when they repeated the same test with a difficult-to-read font, that number dropped to ~25% or so. That's another way to make your brain work, use a terrible font.
