What serious CW operator cannot send Morse faster than he/she
can text-message? I don't know of anyone including me. But
give me a full sized keyboard and the situation changes.

Of course! But what cell phone has a full sized keyboard?

And if the Morse operators are allowed full sized Morse keyboards,
the situation changes yet again.

With a decent 10 speed bicycle I could win the Boston Marathon
(as long as everybody else has to run).

Not only is the bit entertaining, it proves the point of newer not
always being faster.

Given no previous experience and one hour of training for
each mode, which would win? :-)

Bwaahaahaa! ;-) Good one!
