I’ve never heard anyone mention keyboard skills with
the people of the
CSRC - doesn’t anyone know?

History tells us that the guys who designed [UNIX] did
their own typing
into the machine. It seems to me that because of this, the main reason
that UNIX enjoys/suffers from terse input and output is not through any
intellectual design decisions made at some early stage but because the
UNIX designers were just bad typists working on slow peripherals.
