I can't know whether that's the case, but the fact that virtually all

It adresses the question whether selecting commands in menus with the
mouse or accessing them via keyboard shortcuts is faster. The answer is:

 "* Test subjects consistently report that keyboarding is faster than
    mousing.
  * The stopwatch consistently proves mousing is faster than
    keyboarding."

You beat me to the punch. And to exactly the same URL, in fact.

I see strong parallels between the insistence that keyboarding is faster than mousing and the insistence that manual memory management is faster than automated memory management.
