Precision and Accuracy matters
Practice matters
Humans aren’t built for max typing speed. Humans aren’t built for the keyboard, the keyboard is built for Humans.
Better choices on keyboards and chairs can lead to better ergonomics. Better ergonomics has potential to be more sustainable long term. More investment in ergonomics might lead to reliance on different systems that might not always be availabe (not used to using a basic keyboard and required to can lead to throughput losses, potential at critical times).
Accuracy matters, backspaces is a major place of losses in typing. Errors like missed notes on a piano, glaring and interrupts focus. Flow matters for increased throughput.
Practicing with multiple keyboard types might lead to better ability to adapt to different layouts. Same basic layout but different distances is possible.
All gains to teaching typing have yet to be comprehended meaning there is potential for gains. Gains has the potential to lead to computers and logic systems as more useful for society, though gains have a precedent of not always being used ideally. Teaching reduced oppression along with typing skills might be a valuable endeavor. Logic and Reason systems like Law, that rely upon typing, are not always used in everyone’s best interest, not always used without desire to Maximize Profit for a few while leaving some to die of hypothermia on the side of the street. Decisions around law matter, throughput for people that don’t amp oppression factors into who lives and who dies. Less Oppression is Life and Death, more Throughput for those trying to reduce it is Life and Death and likely not always fully appreciated for the levels at which that happens.
