I hadn't heard that: please cite the study that proved it.

ISTM that the advantage of Dvorak is so fundamental that it can't be
overcome; the most-often used keys are closer to the home row. It's not
something that seems debatable to me: shorter distance means less finger
travel, ergo more speed. 

Then again, I've been wrong before, so I'd like to look at the data.
