Our reading
The effort typing requires, not raw typing speed, is what determines whether it becomes a real obstacle to writing.

Their wordsIt doesn't matter if you can type 90 words per minutes or 130, but if it takes you effort to type something and, if given the choice, you'd rather not do it, then we have a problem.
Our reading
Discomfort or effort in typing that makes someone avoid writing things down is a genuine bottleneck that should be fixed, not dismissed.

Their wordsIf you're not comfortable typing a lot and you'd rather not write something down then typing is the bottleneck and you need to fix it. Typing is not something you should need to think about.
