I've never done steno work (though I was fascinated by the machines when I was doing juvie court), but I can do the Zen thing while typing and be doing something else while typing away. I agree with your teacher, you've gotten good when you don't have to think about typing, you just do it.
I've weirded out some of the teens when I'm typing about 80 wpm on an article while still carrying on a conversation with them. But these days if they can hit 30-40 wpm, they think they are typing wizards. I totally would have failed out of my class if I'd gone below 60.
