It's actually expected by data entry people, bookkeepers and accountants. 
People with complete keyboards can use the same hand for all number keys 
without needing to look at what they are doing, and the right index finger 
for 7,4,1,0, which are all in the same column, same as a standard size adding 
machine or calculator.
