Touch typing is not only home row typing. I do touch type, I just do it in "hunt and peck" style, just without the "hunting" part, and much faster pecking. I feel it's a much more transferable skill.
And while I don't practice home row, I do feel that I understand it. And I respect it for it's purpose, I just think it's outdated, and incongruent with modern life now. It's more likely to hold someone back rather than benefit them now.
