EH.R: QWERTY

Deidre,

thank you for your note. I thought my point was that the
"advantages" of Dvorak may be significantly overstated, so the
incentive to change is necessary small (or non-existent).

The evidence may be like that of the dangers to Monarch butterfly
larvae from the pollen of genetically alterd corn. Turns out, the
larvae were force fed the stuff--they don't normally eat it at all, but
feed on milkweed. Indeed, they won't normally be willing to feed on
a milkweed leaf that had the pollen on it. The evidence came from
a highly artificial setting--as does perhaps much of the Dvorak
evidence.
