I am sure that shorter shell commands and switches were helpful for
*anybody* typing on a clunky, electro-mechanical Teletype (former TM).
They were for me, even though I had learned some typing in school on
mechanical typewriters.
For the counter-example, I wonder if anyone ever tried to type very much
(verbose) DCL on VAX/VMS using a Teletype. :-)

For non touch typists, shorter commands & keywords are helpful.
