> So it's just as easy to hit the side of the screen as it is with a mouse. Easier, perhaps, since you don't need to move your hand as far.

And then you have to go back to the app. Which is now far away and not at the edge which would stop you. So, when you accelerate, you cannot really hit that spot that you wanted easily.
