I'm definitely seeing that folks view fast/no-look typing as a very low-level optimization, if they see it as useful at all.

I've read about people who use screen readers, and have them set to read back the page at eg. 5x speed. To me, that's basically "touch-reading" versus "normal-reading": I wonder if that community would view "touch-reading" as an essential step, or a maybe-optimization.
