I don't really agree with the premise of the article, but my sustained typing throughput sits around 140wpm, and for 10s bursts can hit 170+. This is WAY faster than I can talk. But I don't think this typing speed provides me the advantages the article professes - as others have noted, I am much more gated by the time I spend thinking before typing than I am the typing process itself. Dropping to 80wpm is going to influence the amount of garbage I throw out arguing with people on the internet far more than it would doing anything actually productive. To the point of having to pause thought while typing, I don't find this to be particularly true. I'll still be thinking of how exactly I want to word something as I'm typing it, and will make minor adjustments on the fly.
