While your statements may be correct immediately after switching, in my experience they are grossly incorrect after only a few days. Moving a common letter creates a ruckus but since it's so common you get to train and focus on it a lot and so it's quickly relearnt. Add to that the fact that common letters are generally moved to better positions (or else what's the point in moving them?!), which makes their transitions even easier.\r\n\r\nIn contrast, it's the rare letters that keep tripping me up a long time after a switch, disrupting the flow of typing. It's my firm belief that the total disruption caused by rare keys is in fact bigger than that caused by the common keys that go to better positions!\r\n\r\nMy hypothesis is supported by my own observations, lately during my two Curl(DH)-mod switches. The D and H fell quickly into ranks. while the V, M and K caused trouble long thereafter.\r\n\r\nThis is an enheartening thought for Colemak, which moves many good keys to better positions and often keeps less essential keys such as QWZXCV in their poorer QWERTY positions.\r\n\r\nI'm hoping that you'll revise your page. If you don't want to rework your thoughts and model, at least let your page show the above dissent to some extent in the name of good typing science! ;-)"}}
