If you know cursive, it usually reads fast and clear. I don't think it is widely taught anymore though, as it was mostly a footnote when I was in school many years ago. It is a strange choice for the article considering the rarity of cursive these days.
I'd argue, on the contrary, it's perfect for keywords: you recognized those mostly by shape anyway, so now they don't even look like actual names which is an upside for me.
