That is a very good point you made about ergonomics as the solution for poor typing practices.
As someone who suffers from decades prior of poor typing, I think there is a cultural propensity to associate RSI/CTS with external solutions. Especially people talking about having surgery for RSI/CTS symptoms as a "cure" of sorts.
The way I try to describe it to the younger generation is like this. When you are young, you can put your body through a malicious amount of abuse through typing. As you get older, you may start experiencing pain of sorts directly related to binges of typing. However, they usually go away after rest. What happens is that eventually the rest does not fully subside the pain/strain/soreness, it is always there. That is RSI/CTS/whatever you choose to call it. You broke the camel's back.
