 :::Meta means alt. So M-E would be Alt-E.
 The Firefly explanation is too much, especially with the point about airing out of order. I think with the inclusion of Randall's personal preference for Firefly, and its frequent reference by Randall, it would make a lot more sense.

	"A common myth states that this was done to slow typists down; this was not the case." Is that really a common myth? I've never heard about it.

 ::Maybe new people like the above just aren't paying attention enough to encouter the myth (whether or not they believe it, or ar told that it is wrong), but I don't believe it has become so significantly uncommon as to no longer bear repeating here to explain the context of the 'unconfortable truth' of the alternative ''not'' being better and the 'facts' that say otherwise being wrong.
 ::There are still adherents to Dvorak (or other) keyboards, of course, and I imagine that those who have trained themselves to use one don't actually have it ''worse'' on either physical or on-screen, but the debate goes on (and was certainly active a decade and a half ago).
