I've heard the same story from others, and it's my story too. I type fast enough and accurately enough to get ideas out of my head. I tried to type "correctly" way back in junior high (on a typewriter, no less!) but found that my personal technique (developed since first using Apple II's at 8 y/o) worked better (even on a real typewriter).
Thirty-six years typing this way and never any pain.
I know what you mean re: the muscle memory being burned in. It, no doubt, contributes to my frustration when developers change keyboard shortcuts in systems I've used for years. When Microsoft decided to change "Log off..." to "Sign out" (in Windows 10? 8? I can't recall...) I lost my go-to <CTRL>-<ESC> <ESC> <ALT>-<F4> <L> <ENTER> shortcut for logging off. Now I have to look at the screen to make sure my <S> isn't getting "Switch User", "Sign Out", "Sleep" or "Shutdown". (I guess I was the only person in the world who found the keyboard shortcuts for those choices being dis-ambiguous to be valuable...)
