Serifs were always considered beneficial to reading fast or for conveying info. This is debated now I think because of course it is. Sans fonts mostly stayed in the headline and ad copy toolbox until shitty screens were shitty at displaying serifs. So they took off and leaked a little beyond their true stature among font styles.
Serifs are better in the same general sense that OpenDyslexia is better as a font for both sufferers and some others. Your brain can do its thing, reading at any speed needs some of that back door stuff like serifs to stop you reading that letter (like Al and AI) and and tossing all that buffer to wonder what the fucking word is.
Just my stoned opinion as a former graphics guy from the print days until Adobe went real extra stupid.
