"Parkinson, a former aerospace engineer, said he was inspired to action after taking a typing class in which he reached 25 words a minute but then went back to hunt-and-peck after finding the touch-typing technique too distracting."

So because he sucks at touch typing, everyone else has to change their keyboard?

No one's going to buy his keyboards. The Dvorak keyboard layout is better, but no one uses it because we're all used to using the Qwerty layout (which is why it's almost impossible to find a Dvorak layout keyboard). The same will go for his keyboards.
