I agree. I was asked in an interview how fast I type. I didn't know how many WPM, but said "Average - maybe even kinda slow". I followed up with a similar thought - I tend to spend more time thinking about the correct solution, finding the right spot in the code than I do typing. I got the job. I've had the reputation at every job as someone who can get things done quickly so it must not hurt too much. Knowing what to type is way more important than how fast you can lay it down. Of course, having both would be ideal.
