On the contrary, studies I read some years ago suggested that while
practice is important, given equivalent degrees of practice, the
information content of the interface makes the difference. 

If it is easier for reader to detect and recognize a difference among
letters or words, it is easier to read. Hence, given equal experience
among readers, fonts with serifs were easier, since they provides more
information per character and per word.
