This is actually true, too. Funny thing is it isn't hard at all to learn how to mine (and by that I mean it's quite easy to find the sweetspots without a guide and to know when to hit.

Correct. With practice, you can hit the sweet spot first time every time. That speeds up the entire process by leaps and bounds. I can easily lap other players doing the triangle method (on the same nodes as myself) when I'm paying close attention and am not off BSing while mining.

Pro tip: use this site. Know the spot on the vertical slider where the item is that you want, and know the spot on the circle in relation to the remainder bar that you need to hit to get the goods. It's all downhill from there.

I dont think this is what they're talking about. For instance, I can do all of the above and still mine slower than other ppl. The wait time between strikes is *more* for me than it is for the guy next to me. In some cases they get off two swings in the time I get off one and finish waiting for attempt #2. Course I blame comcast for this, but its whatever lol. Ppl really do *literally* mine faster than others, and it has nothing to do with what you described. Now if you dont know how to hit sweet spots on the first go every time, obviously that will affect your overall speed too. But there really is a difference in mining speed outside of that. Its almost as if it processes slower for some ppl than others.
