Not being fast at typing does not mean you are not tech savvy. There is more to tech than typing. Like an architect doesn't need to be good at brick-laying to be a good architect.

Funny that you chose an architect. Since they are basically document producers (also software architects), they tend to be able to type pretty proficiently.

But that is not the comparison they drew, and you know that.

Yes. To a typist, it's all about the typing. The design, engineering and drawings don't seem to be important it seems.
