I read somewhere that a faster bow is less forgiving. Why is that? Does anybody know?

usually the other way round i think. if the arrow stays on the string for a shorter period of time (which ain't that long to begin with) then there will be less time for human error ie dropped/moving bow arm. also a quicker arrow helps compensate for distance/arrow drop. flatter shooting in other words seems to be more forgiving,,,i think. brace height helps here too,,, higher means less time on the string. the most forgiving bow for anyone would be one that FITS that person and their style of shooting. GRIP IS KEY.

Poor design, workmanship, and tuning by the owner can make a bow unforgiving at any speed.

Fast bows are not all unforgiving .Many fast bows are superbly acurate and very forgiving.I don't have any fast bows that are unforgiving,or inacurate, but I have a few slow ones that are.

My fastest bows-ACS CX, Fedora, Morrison, are the most accurate, and user friendly.

They are more forgiving when the distance is not estimated correctly. Faster = less arrow drop. DAS, WARF, and other bows using ILF limbs are very fast and very forgiving.
