I would love to see some real stats on what measure of traffic comes from type in.

Yeah so this is the big question that no one can answer. See since type in traffic shows up as having 'no refferer' and also MANY other sources of traffic show the same, then its very hard to get an accurate amount as to how much traffic is TRUELY type in.

Beyond that, even if you just register a domain and have it parked and am getting stats on it, then you could be getting all your traffic from bots, or from other domainers wanting to register your domain and NOT a legitimate 'customer' like domainers want you to think.

As the web gets more dangerous with phishing and viruses, I believe people will be less likely to type in domains and would rather use a search engine that has a Site Advisor like service that let's you know if a site is trust worthy or not.

Domain Registrars are mining the miners right now and the crash of the domain market is coming soon. Sell your domains that don't make money today!
