touch-typing vs high-speed hunt-and-peck

I know what's appearing on the screen even while I'm looking at the keyboard because I know exactly what the result will be of all the keys I've pressed.

No, you don't. If you're typing at any decent speed, looking at the keyboard doesn't let you know about accidentally double-struck letters, letter inversions, or skipped characters. That's why I look at my screen.
