We all know reading comprehension isn't a prerequisite for commenting on the l33t internetz, but you might want to read more than the title of the hackernews link before commenting.
I didn't set up the comparison and there are certainly logical fallacies we can apply to that style of presenting questions and the implication that the answer to one implies anything about the answer to the other.
My main points are: First, that moving the chess pieces faster (in frequency, not in velocity) absolutely made me better at the game of chess, second, that if you are going to spend 8 hours a day sitting at a computer, you will never regret learning how to type.
Productivity is another question entirely.
One day I'll write about a past co-worker who could type 120 wpm and could fix any problem with one more 'if' (or 7).
