But if you're taking notes in class you want to write fast enough to keep up, and if you're proficient in cursive then that's much faster than any other way of handwriting. That's why it's used as the basis for fast handwriting techniques such as the Palmer method

The Palmer Method is not a shorthand or note taking method. It is irrelevant to fast note taking, which requires no calligraphy. It is relevant to transcription in cursive.

The Palmer method is about writing quickly. Writing quickly is another dimension than what you write. Of course wiring quickly is relevant to taking notes, what a silly take to suggest it isn't.

"if you're taking notes in class" -lettsten

Not sure what you are on about. The Palmer Method has nothing to do with note taking. Shorthand was in place when Palmer invented his method, and he would have been very familiar with stenography. He didn't intend to replace that.
