Can you convince me that the quality of a programmer has anything to do with speed?
(At least, to the degree that keyboarding skills would make a measurable difference. I'm not arguing that it's ok to spend all week building a single function.)
When you don't have to think what you're typing, your mind is free to think about the code. The more you think about your code, the better you are.
Image if you had to stop and think to use the mouse.
Ok, but not thinking about typing comes much earlier than being proficient in typing to the degree mentioned here.
Besides, I don't really think about kicking a soccer ball, but I certainly look at it when I do.
