> Your coding efficiency is not limited by how fast you can type.

It absolute is, at least for me. Granted, the majority of time spent during programming is on thinking rather than typing, but any time spent typing detracts from time that could have been spent on thinking instead. Whenever I type a line too long, I tend to lose focus on what I am thinking, and get bogged down by language details. Besides, typing the useless thing again and again (like repeating a long type name) frustrates people, and frustrated people have a harder time to concentrate.

I have a hard time believing 80% of time is spent writing code vs thinking of the right solution.

That ratio alone is enough to not worry about efficiency typing imo.

You either did not read my comment or understand it, because I said the exact opposite.
