declaimed the following in gmane.comp.python.general:

Oh, there was an "inefficiency" in QWERTY -- but it only applies to
fully manual typewriters, in which some of the more common letters were
placed under the weakest fingers -- to slow down key strokes enough to
reduce jamming multiple type blocks (didn't help for my last name -- I
and E are on opposing hands, same fingers, making for a fast parallel
reach).
Low pressure electronic keys don't have the strength feedback
slowing down the outer fingers.
