Quite true, but Wikipedia says the Morse code Farnsworth is not the same 
guy:

    People learning Morse code using the *Farnsworth method*, named for
    Donald R. "Russ" Farnsworth, also known by his call sign
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_sign>, W6TTB, are taught to send
    and receive letters and other symbols at their full target speed,
    that is with normal relative timing of the dots, dashes and spaces
    within each symbol for that speed.

Being Wikipedia, I don't know if it's true or not, of course.
