As with most things, I think that not only is "better" subjective, but such dogmatism is a sign that you are not considering that other relevant perspectives or context may exist that can disagree with you. I think true intelligence by definition requires humility and realizing that we can't know everything, there are things we don't know that we don't know, and the world is not so black and white.

Good point. At the cost of relearning typing some folks may increase their speed but its not easy to determine if they would have won similar gains spending time improving habits with qwerty.

That said its nearly irrelevant because for most jobs typing speed isn't a limiting factor for those with average typing speed for proficient users.
