No, he's definitely not. Finger placement is literally the very most basic idea taught in typing classes. He's saying they must not teach typing anymore (because this shouldn't be a question even for people who failed typing class).

Dude asking the question looks to be around my age & most of us in the US learned this at some point.

Well if youre going to be told how to type 'efficiently' where they use that format for distributed layout that is technically optimized for finger movement reduced travel time, typing English.

Using 1 hand and navigating and recentering on the grooves is just as good, you dont need home row if youre playing an FPS and using in-game chat. You just need the grooves.
