Does emacs improve your typing speed? STOP! That's human experimentation!! That's the point of the article. Why would you worry someone is doing to die testing their typing speed, or filling out an online survey?
You've probably conducts numerous Experimental Human Trials over your lifetime - anyone who is even slightly curious and empirical has!

- nxobject 2y ago> Why would you worry someone is doing to die testing their typing speed, or filling out an online survey? No. Because you don’t have to. This seems like a glib answer, but I assure you that, as a university employee in a research unit, I have both tested my typing speed and filled out an online survey. Whataboutism doesn’t help the conversation here become more informed.
