You had me at 'meaningless drivel'.

In my opinion, the author's goal was to make a blog post. So he searched around for something like an original thought... and he found a glimmer (merely) of a thought: that hand-typing helps you READ content better than copy&pasting does.

It's more of an observation, actually... An independently repeatable one, sure... :)

Is is indeed more of an observation, and one that's helped me learn, but I won't agree that makes it less useful :) Plenty of beginners (not all, but certainly some) jump to copy&pasting too quickly.

Automate for speed, not for lack of understanding :)
