I wonder where Dave got this idea from. I'd like to suggest it is
wishful thinking.
The contest winners clearly are superior ops and will use whatever speed
benefits them. Likely higher speeds early in the contest and lower
speeds later. Not a fixed speed throughout.
I don't know why there is such an aversion to admitting that many people
can copy more than 40 WPM. There is no law of physics or biology
preventing it. After all people routinely talk and 300 WPM. If one can
decode those utterances at 300 WPM why not simple dot/dash CW at 40 WPM?

But I suspect that the winners do not regularly run high speed.
N6TV won CW Sweepstakes this year using K3s at the W7RN super-station.
Bob usually steams along at 30-34 WPM.
