Touchtyping but using ring finger instead of pinky often. Consequences

[urlwolf]

I Touch type colemak on a matias ergo pro, but catch myself using ring finger instead of pinky often. Are there any consequences? ring finger is longer and requires less of a wrist twist to reach keys, particularly on the right hand. Who came up with the finger rules? Are these from the typewriter times, where there were little to no backspace and symbols?

I was typing on a maltron before, which has a matrix layout. Maybe that matters.
