You've lost me, I'm afraid, Chris.
All the pixels are read, whether the shutter's mechanical or electronic.
They can both expose 1/6000s, but for the mechanical shutter the lag between the pixels at the top and the bottom might be 1/180s, but electronic it could be as Beholder points out 1/20s and so movement/distortion in the frame is noticeable, because there are no curtains.
