Definitely agree with that, based on my experience and the experience of other shooters I've seen on the range. A few years back at Area 2 there was a new revolver shooter who took 150 seconds per stage, but every target had a figure eight on it from his two shots.
Two years later, he won his division. Learning speed after accuracy is (IMO) easier than learning accuracy after speed.
Exactly...well stated.
This has always been my philosophy..... along with the above-mentioned D-V-C of Col Cooper.
You must have a balance of accuracy, power and speed. Foregoing one for the sake of another causes problem with the balance.
Choose 'enough' gun and practice beyond proficient accuracy..... I believe that concentrated and diligent practice leads to 'efficiency'...or, a lack of error, which leads to speed. Rob Leatham once said that his speed wasn't as much "speed" as it was efficiency from the lack of mistakes.

To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
