Without the acknowledgement that the single finger typing is flawed why would I even want to correct it?
That question doesn't really include the self image part.

So I'll ask you the same question. What's better. To accurately hear yourself and be able to correct it from there? Or to hear yourself speaking perfectly all the while never being able to realize that you sound hideous?
According to cognitive psychology, having a good self image improves performance. When you think you sound hideous you are more tense then when you think that you have a good voice. As a result the belief accually increases the quality of your voice (we even have here people who believe in IM and could think of a variety of other reasons that your belief increases your performance).
It's a question of prioritising.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
