That argument is a bit flawed. Too use the arrow keys you have to
abandon the basic touch typing position completely and then find it
again. This will take a lot longer than pressing any key combination you
can reach from the basic position.
This is exactly why I feel better with key combinations than with arrow keys.
My arrow keys are very small and not disposed ideally. I guess this depends
on keyboards more than anything else.
