What I don't understand about this discussion is the idea that what
you just said should need to be said. The results of a statistical
study of people's behavior is no PROSCRIPTIVE, but DESCRIPTIVE.
That's is, it doesn't say what people SHOULD do, but describes how
people behave.
Every individual is different and every single user on the Finale
list could be faster with the keyboard and it wouldn't invalidate the
studies done by Apple and Microsoft.
Oh, I'm just saying that just because the study may be valid, it
doesn't mean it applies to ME.
I try that argument on my wife with fatty foods, too. It also has
limited appeal.
