Wasn't the qwerty keyboard the same set-up as the old type-writers? I could be completely out to lunch, but I think that the qwerty set-up was to prevent fast typers from getting keys/mechanics all jammed up. Looking at my keyboard, apart from that "sder" section, you wouldn't really put many of them together one after another in most common words {J,K M,N I,U}
