If that's the reason why, then I guess I don't want a touch screen mac. Looking at my screen now, I would fat finger just about everything if it was a touch screen as sensitive as my iPhone (where I fat finger quite a few of things, and my fingers are really quite narrow). The mouse is a precision instrument. Your finger is not. I'd hate for the UI to suffer due to catering toward a less precise input I have no intention of ever using.

Well, a UI requiring less precision to accomondate fingers wouldn't suffer for mouse use.
If anything, it's the contrary: it would become easier to use with the higher precision mouse, because targers would be even larger.
The key insight here is that they wont make the mouse lose precision: instead, they make the targets the mouse has to hit bigger -- which, given that the mouse retains the same precision, makes it even easier to hit them!

It would suffer by loosing data density. I don't want to loose effective screen real estate where it is already limited on a laptop. I try to keep my browser windows as slim as possible for this reason.
