Hi, I think the bar for making an assumption or bringing in outside knowledge is essentially common sense. While the author does not explicitly state it, I think they do imply that newer typewriters and computers do not jam since we are told that only early typewriters jam. However, as someone who lives in the world, common sense would tell us that computer keys are not prone to jam in the way described. Since it seems the jamming issue is not present for computers, we wouldn't use the same in effective t design on a keyboard designed for computers.
