RE: C-p, C-b, C-f, and C-n... why?

Yeah I enjoyed this so much I remapped these keys to
Original 	Remapped
C-p		C-e
C-n		C-d
C-b		C-s
C-f		C-f
C-a		C-a
And cursor to end of line as C-g
This involved some remapping of useful key mappings squashed in the
change but means I don't have to think about the keys for moving point
as the key layout is the same as the required direction and it is all on
the same hand.
It started as an experiment but has lasted for a while now. I have done
a similar, but incomplete job remapping the kill keys to the right-hand.

In the tutorial it suggests I use  C-p, C-b, C-f, and C-n rather than
arrow keys, why should i?

What's even more annoying is this: C-p requires left hand C and right
hand p, and then C-b requries right hand C and left hand b. Same goes
for C-f and C-n.

Trying to get used to this is such a pain. It's ludicrous.
