I find that incredibly hard to believe. For starters, an “O” is three long dashes. By the time you are done with those, a good texter could type a word while the morse operator has produced one letter.

When morse is done properly at high speed you don’t here it as individual dots and dashes but more like music tones of dits and dahs. Each letter has a recognizable rhythm. Good operators hear the rhythm as complete words.
Usually musicians make the best code operators.
