Speed Typing, Barbara Blackburn and Zoomer Grifters
Speed Typing, Barbara Blackburn and Zoomer Grifters
Karl Jobst, is popular for making a video that claims the well-known fastest typist Barbara Blackburn is a scandal.
If Barbara Blackburn is a fraud, Karl Jobst is more of a fraud.
in his video, he proved that:
- Barbara Blackburn's often cited top speed of 212 wpm is not based on verified fact.
- Barbara Blackburn in Guinness World Record as fastest typer is not verified.
- Huge spread of unchecked citation by journalists and bloggers. (but not by Barbara Blackburn)
his video, also
- Did not prove Barbara Blackburn is a lier, fraud, or with any malicious intention.
- Did not prove Barbara Blackburn is not a top speed typer during her time.
- Did imply, that Barbara Blackburn is a lier, fraud.
In it, he dig out history, which proves that the common citation that Barbara Blackburn types 212 wpm is a myth, and was never in Guinness World Records. (Guinness World Records is itself a kinda fraud, which he also mentions) however, he speak in a tone that Barbara Blackburn is a fraud.
You have to understand, that even just 20 years ago, without the communication tech we have today i.e. the internet and cellphone and globalization, it's almost a fact that every fact was incorrect.
it is easy today, to dig out history and pointing fingers about something was not a fact. but the bottom line is, Barbara Blackburn is truly indeed, one of the fastest typist, and the 212 wpm was not a lie, likely happened, as she self claimed that computer software said so for brief bursts.
she promotes herself reasonably, but was never to a degree being a scandal or deceptive.
The Karl Jobst making a YouTube video dissing her with a dramatic title, is more deceptive than Barbara Blackburn ever was.
Also, the Sean Wrona seems never had good things to say about Barbara neither, nor about Dvorak layout. Too enamored with selves. Just like dvorak were promoting dvorak, or the qwertyists were fiercly defending qwerty.
