I find the argument convincing with the addition of a little tweak: it's not about how fast you type, but your facility with the editing. I use Emacs, and plugins like ace-jump (which I think is a copy of a Vim plugin) and paredit reduce friction between thought and code, not because I'm hammering out a certain number of words per minute, but because these tools abstract the manipulation of text away from twiddling characters on the screen, and towards "manipulating" text as a proxy for ideas.
