    Our fingers as a manipulation tool are unparalleled in our bodies for their dexterity and ability to do minute tasks.

    Moving a ball / mouse that moves another object will almost always be more precise than a simple touch, at least until the intervening technology to translate our fingers adjustments reaches the same capability as mice.

      I don’t see how a touch interface could ever be as precise as a mouse. The pointer is much smaller than a fingertip and you can’t really scale it without having to make the touch surface enormous or zoom in and out all the time. Even using a drawing tablet is less fluid than a mouse and it eliminates the issues with the lack of precision.
