I think hunt-and-peck is still a repetitive motion that can cause problems of its own. I think it's better to take care of your hands with strengthening exercises and the like (I got some from an OT and they helped) than to just rely on not having proper technique.

My idea wasn't to advise against touch typing, no way. It's an evolutionary step forward.

The idea was to warn people in time about the consequences so that they can take precautions. I wish someone warned me about that 15 years ago.

Well, unfortunately, it's something like an ironclad law of the universe that nobody worries about their health until they have problems.
