Actually, Dan you have touched on a very important point here of reading, listening, typing, posting, attending but not practicing.
I think even if someone's deeds were affected with this hadeeth and for instance started developing the habit of praying extra holding the Quran to read if one is not having enough of memorization, one will not reveal this out of concern for bragging or showing off. I think, this is my humble opinion.
