Print speed shouldn’t really change anything when the filament is saturated with moisture. You might see more severe effects with faster printing but printing slowly with wet filament would still yield some pretty bad results. As stated in another comment, filament hygroscopy varies by brand so maybe you lucked out!

I’m not sure I agree that unicycles are safer than roller blades. But that’s probably because I am comfortable on roller blades and don’t know how to unicycle, so for me, the opposite is true.
