To me that reads as though you are unable to use it because the device itself is imprecise. That some indeed do find it more precise would seem to exonerate the device. Personal preference, is a different can of worms. :)

No zealotry present at all, here at least.

It is a call back to lokedhs's original issue:

> Once in a while I try to use it, but I find it almost impossible control with any kind of precision. Changing the sensitivity doesn't help much.

which is what they were asking about when they wrote

> How do you use it? Is this just a matter of getting used to it, and if it is, how long does it take?

right afterwards, not "what finger are you using" (the index of the dominant hand would certainly be the obvious choice to just about anyone).
