It is my guess that everyone in the thread with "Hey, I don't type normally either and my speed is just fine" comments are likely staring at the keyboard when they type. All two-finger typists I've personally witnessed, even the extremely prolific Roger Ebert, couldn't effectively transcribe a printed document with their learned typing style.

If you never have to type something you're reading, I'm sure unique typing styles are just fine.

I mean, in my case, you could not possibly be more wrong. I haven't looked down at the keyboard since I was 8 or so and would assume most here don't program staring directly at their keyboard. Do you think it impossible for muscle memory to work outside of home row or something?
