REPLY:

It is also more prone to errors when signals are weak or covered by
QRM or QRN, as we find out anew each year during the 75 baud contest. 

45.45 baud seems to be a good compromise between speed and accuracy,
and that's about as fast as most folks can type anyway. 

If you would like a further demonstration of the compromise between
speed and accuracy, try the JT65 or JT9 modes, which are slow as
molasses in January but which print almost perfectly under absolutely
awful conditions. 

It's all a tradeoff.
