I made this point in an earlier comment, but I'm a firm believer that if the speed at which you can physically type code is the bottleneck, then you are going to eventually have much bigger problems. Hastily written code will require more time to fix than it will cost you to slow down and think about a good design, regardless of language.
The effort of writing (typing) code is directly (at least) linearly proportional with the effort of reading said code (including the time when you're thinking in your head before you typed it in). And by "effort", I'm strictly referring to the physical aspect of reading the text, disregard the comprehension part.
As many advocates of static typing emphasize the importance of reading/ refactoring in large code base, this would be a huge factor as well.
If you can code quickly, then the effort required to refactor previously written bad code is lower. I.e it is not that you can type faster that matters, it is that you can fit more change iterations in the same time frame. And many times multiple change iterations are required because you can't see beforehand whether a particular refactoring will be a net positive or negative.
Strongly typed languages beat dynamic languages hands down for refactoring. The ability to know immediately what broke without having to run all your code paths dominates any time savings gained by typing faster.
I'm a fan of strongly typed languages with good type inference (and therefore less typing), but even in verbose languages like Java this is true about refactoring.
I agree, I think there are many more issues to consider. However, the OP seemed to be focusing on that particular argument, hence my comment. A few examples:
"The results were that the people using the dynamic version of the language got stuff done much quicker"
"it took less time to find those errors [in the statically typed language] than it did to write the type safe code in the first place [in the dynamically typed language]."
"[programs written in]" dynamic languages took significantly less effort to create (less time)"
