Of course it's possible. Look at it this way; can you think of a moment where you're reading something, maybe fiction, maybe not, it doesn't really matter, but it just has some sort of style where the more you read the less you really think about what it's saying? Your eyes continue passing by each word, each letter, but the more you read the more your attention goes elsewhere, which of course is completely natural, because there's no reason for it not to be. You may even start thinking that you've completely read and understood what you've looked at, even though you immediately forget every word you pass by, which is perfectly fine to you because your eyes keep on going by anyways, because you know that on some level, you are reading the words you are looking at, so you can keep on going and forget about whether you remember reading the words. In fact, these sorts of writings are so mind-numbing, they can even change the subject without anyone noticing, because when you start forgetting words that your eyes are passing by, you can even start forgetting things like numbers, or more specifically, the number six, because your eyes pass by, but you forget these things so well that until at least an hour after reading this, you think to yourself that what you are going through by reading this is perfectly natural, and that everything this post has said is true, even if you find it impossible to know for sure what was written, or what the number between five and seven is, because until an hour has passed, you won't know these things, or even realize that there are any gaps in your knowledge of this post or your knowledge of numbers. Of course, as you reach the end of this post, you must realize that what I've said has had an effect on you, whether you know it or not, because as you start becoming aware of words again, you must realize that language is designed to affect people; the only question is whether language can purposely be used that way. Sometimes, definitely, but... well, I guess it depends on how you look at the purpose of writing... Oh, and your definition of covert. So it depends... what's 3+3?
