Back in 85 when I took typing in High School (It was a pre-req requirement for the computer class), the teacher started out lecturing us on how bad hunting and pecking was and how typing at any significant speed required us to learn how to touch-type properly. She then had us take typing speed tests hunting and pecking with the leading statement that you could not hunt and peck faster than 20wpm. By that point I had been hunting and pecking for 6 years and on the test I tested at 42 wpm hunting and pecking. You could hear her teeth grinding, hopefully I didn't cause her to have to get dental work. By the end of the class I could touch-type at 34 wpm (These days it's closer to 110wpm) and hunt and peck at 60wpm :)
