Please explain how you think you can slow something down without effecting it's speed. Just run through that logic in your head for a minute.

I think he means the cohesiveness of the meter. 4/4 stays 4/4 at variable speeds. That’s my take. My Zoom recorder plays mp3 files at a range of speeds I choose so I can study the piece against it’s sheet music while it maintains pitches.

I said slowing something down affecting it's speed and it's tempo.

No you didn't. You said pitch and speed. It's right there. You can't slow something down without effectig the speed. It is impossible. In music "tempo" is speed, so saying "tempo and speed" is redundant. And you can't effectively effect speed without effecting tempo since they are the same thing.
