I completely agree. I have noticed, programmers who can't touch type write very few comments and very little documentation. Communicating with them via email sucks because they can never explain themselves properly. Just like typing is only a part of what you do when programming, programming is also only a part of what a good programmer does. Programming any sizable application is a very collaborative process, and that necessitates lots of documentation and communication, which are both very typing intensive. I hate working with developers that can't touch type, they just don't function well from a team perspective.
