I see, thanks. I didn't know these things about the Moto X. It's really a spectacular feat of engineering!
But in the broader picture my point stands, he still made a number of false assumptions regarding voice tech ("right now it's good at x y z," and it's not by any means). It's as if he were imagining today's voice tech to be at the equivalent of capacitive touch screens when in reality it's not, they aren't quite invented yet and our current level of tech is still resistive. So of course sensitivity is poor and multi-touch hasn't been implemented. It's not design oversight, it's technological limitation.
This isn't to say things aren't changing -- that's what the Moto X represents, improvement on the bleeding edge :)
