Well even though we learned to type on computers in my school, they still weren't readily accessible (there was not a computer in every home, in fact, most people only ever saw a computer in the library or in the school when they were teaching us to type), so I think they tought us the old typists' rules rather than the new, especially if the "new" was still being worked out.
