From your link (bold emphasis added by me)...
Hmm...
The message "speed reduced by disk malfunction" means there is a problem reading data from the disk due to a disk malfunction...
Since the "speed reduced by disk malfunction" message indicates hardware-related issues, you will need to backup your files from the DiskWarrior Preview window (accessed from the DiskWarrior Report window) to another hard drive. Once you have a backup of your files, you will need to install a new hard drive to replace the damaged hard drive..
You're right.
There's absolutely nothing in that to indicate hardware errors.
Nothing at all.
