It depends on the programmer.

For me personally, I think it is the case. I like bottom up approaches, starting from technical details and working up to the global structure, it means I spend most of my "flow" time writing and rewriting code. It means lots of typing, even if most of it doesn't become production code.

Others seem to prefer to start with the big picture, maybe with a pen and paper. So less typing but proportionally more of that typing becomes production code. So, for them, typing is probably not the right indicator.
