Fair enough. I did read your blog post, and while I agree to an extent that you need skill in your chosen medium (typing, in our case), I wouldn't call it the most important. It's like saying an illustrator is a bad artist because they don't paint. Or a pitcher sucks at baseball because he can barely hit.
First and foremost, you need to be a good developer. I actually know lots of amazing computer scientists who can't type worth a damn. I know people on the C++ standards committee that aren't very good typists, but they are AMAZINGLY good with algorithms and mathematics.
So yeah, if you're just a coding monkey, implementing others' ideas, then typing is the most important skill. Otherwise I would claim the most important skill is problem solving, followed closely by the ability to model a problem, mathematics, and knowledge within the problem domain.
But, you know, strokes and folks.
