"Back in the day?" You know, cursive
still requires you to lift your pen as little as possible, to this very day! Back in the day?
Yes, cursive is demonstrably faster because you don't have to lift your pen. Not only is it also an art form and part of our culture, we still need it to sign documents with it. It's a personal mark that uniquifies us (surprisingly well) and is somewhat difficult to forge. While all this stuff
can be bypassed, it's like software protection schemes. It's meant to stop
casual piracy. Or, in this case, casual forgery...
