It is interesting
where Apple puts the 'center' of touch. --it is smart, for most applications.
But, there is NO way a fleshy fat finger squished against the glass has the same precision of a stylus. --actually, I rarely use the stylus. Rather I usually touch/select/write on my resistive-sense tablet with my fingernail. I've considered trimming my nail to a point
but found I can just grab the stylus if even more precision is needed.
I will note, that the lack of precision (cap-sense) explains why the iPaid is so big with such low resolution. I mean, try using your finger to select one letter in text on an iPhone. (w/o zooming) -not going to happen. However, on a iPad, you might get it w/in a few pecks with your fleshy fat finger lightly squished against the glass.
