Pretty sure they're saying that mouse accuracy trumps trackpad for cut/paste operations.

Yeah, these are great. You can get the best of both worlds on a Magic Mouse, though.
Personally I do alright with a trackpad, but I also lean heavily on the keyboard regardless of auxiliary input devices. In particular, I don't do pointer-heavy workloads like e.g. image editing.
