I think what experience has shown is that, where you've got the luxury of
s=
pace, a keyboard in a known, fixed format, with two possible characters
per=
key ('a' and 'A', say) is the most time efficient for a trained operative.=

      This isn't as silly as it sounds.  You

guessing what the next letter is likely to be.  For example,
"q&q=
