The evidence in the standard history of Qwerty versus Dvorak is flawed and incomplete. First, the claims for the superiority of the Dvorak keyboard are suspect. The most dramatic claims are traceable to Dvorak himself, and the best-documented experiments, as well as recent ergonomic studies, suggest little or no advantage for the Dvorak keyboard.

—from Famous Fables of Economics, Chapter 4: Fable of the Keys, a book by Stan J. Liebowitz and Stephen E. Margolis
