Only two female participants used LaTeX (see supplements), so there is a clear sex bias. This can be game changing, given women are for all we know superior in orthography and text output quantity. I quickly searched and found very one-sided evidence in the literature. But I am not an expert, and this is a different discussion.

"LaTeX" is just a programming language, whereas Word is a software package. There are many different LaTeX editors (https://beebom.com/best-l... which differ in efficiency. In fact, one can even use Microsoft Word to write LaTeX code, though that would admittedly be cumbersome.

Finally, all of the text were German, which is a problem, because our "Umlaute" ä/ö/ü have to be spelled like \"{A} instead of using Ä on the keyboard. LaTeX comes from an academic English context. Generally, I wonder how many of the orthography/type setting mistakes were language specific. I myself made thousands of Umlaut errors in the beginning, before optimizing my procedures to be water proof.
