I don't know if the statements about the keyboard can be attributed to dishonesty. But when you ask a programmer what they /do/ most of the time, the first thing they think of is programming, and that usually uses the keyboard. But programming is a tiny fraction of what a programmer actually does. Reading, searching, browsing, experimenting, navigating file systems and build systems, running things -- the actual coding is a tiny part at the end, in reality, but it completely dominates the entire activity in our mental model of what it is.
