Seems like the best way to quantify such claims is a small daemon that listens to your keystrokes. Which would use a config file to configure which finger hits which key. Then with the logs you could record top typing speed, and total finger distance. Then users could contribute their speeds, accuracy (number of backspaces), and finger distance for whatever mapping pleases them.
