@samplereality I guess the urban legend is popular among people who struggled to learn to type. Steven Levy, one of many who propagated the legend, wrote in his book _Insanely Great_: "My own high-school instruction in typing was nightmarish. So fumble-fingered was I that after my mistakes were deducted from my word totals, my scores on the speed drills were usually gauged in negative numbers." FWIW, I can't relate; typing came naturally to me. But I started much earlier.
