[Elecraft] Off-Topic: CW sending vs. receiving speed

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I always match the other person's speed if he's sending slower than me. 

If he's sending faster, I'll pick up the pace to match as long as it's
within my comfortable speed range.

On rare occasion I find operators who send much faster than they can copy
and ask me to QRS below their sending speed. That's fine with me too, as
long as I can copy okay.

What's the general consensus?
Is it logical to assume that a person's CW sending speed approximates
their copy speed?

I can't help but assume this, and so when I call CQ and get a return
caller sending at half the speed which I called or sending extreme
farnsworth, I almost always lower my speed in order to be considerate.
