> because for the most part you don't think while you type.
I think that isn’t true if you’re a good enough typist. Once typing is automated enough, you can (somewhat) multitask.
It is similar to driving a car. If you just learned driving, you can’t do anything else while driving, but if you gain experience, you learn to detect when the road needs you full attention and when it doesn’t, and can talk or think about other things while driving.
I think being able to think of what to write next while typing may be even more important for a fluent conversation than typing faster. It will be difficult to test whether that’s true, though, because automating the act of typing also makes you type faster.
