    Dunno. Recently I've been tinkering with a layout optimization tool (from the producer of the MTGAP layout). I realized that even the slightest change in parameters seem to result in a different layout. They all have impressive stats on paper, and they have some similarities (like vowels tend to be grouped on one side); but still they are quite different. Unless we come up with a concrete model of typing behavior, which I believe is immensely difficult, it doesn't matter how optimized your layout is. It is probably unoptimized in some yet unknown aspect of typing.
