Not always. Even if the Op who answers your call can copy high speed CW, he might be replying at slow speed for some good reason such as echo on your signal, which can make copy of high speed CW difficult, hoping that you will slow down. At this latitude 56N multipath echo occurs quite frequently on 40m signals from the West Coast. A reply at 15wpm seems to work, but a reply at a higher speed can become garbled when echo is present.
