The first response was not, then your response to that jumped back to home row without distinguishing non-home-row touch-typing from just typing. It's not just being pedantic when the meaning actually changes.

The first response, as well as myself, went from hunt-and-peck typing to non-home-row touch-typing. The first response was confused about why people have to put effort into "touch-typing" when it's something that comes naturally over time, like it did for us.

It's not useful to conflate the two. "Touch-typing" means "not hunt-and-peck", not "home-row touch-typing".
