Really? I understood that one serious problem in passing a 20-words
per minute morse code test was in writing down the words -- that is,
that few people can write faster than 20 words a minute.
Most people who can type at all type at least 30-40 wpm. Also, you can
type a lot more words before serious fatigue sets in than you can write.
(Or were you addressing the fact that most people can't type AT ALL?)
