Well they showed a dj using it to control a synthesizer during the keynote, so I think (in short) that was a substandard comment I was reading.

What do you think is the delta between orchestrated demo v/s real usability of a particular feature ?

Well he was using it. I'm quite sure they didn't fake it. I'm absolutely sure I couldn't do it.

I'm also remain very certain that Apple is not trying to discourage people from using this thing because it only has a life span of whatever hours of active use. How I know it? Because they have been selling touchscreens for ten years now, under much stronger constraints, without any such shenanigans. And also because it is an incredibly stupid theory.
