uh, I think you are putting the wrong slant on things, like people are cheating losers.

I have been touch typing for years, but I probably look at my keyboard from time to time and do not know I do it.

If you asked me where the B key is, I would have to look. If you asked me to type banana I would do it without looking.

I have caught myself looking, like a passenger in my own body, maybe to orient myself when crooked, I'm not sure. But typing is so automatic that my conscious brain is not even involved in the process.
