This is so interesting; thanks for sharing. I often see my father-in-law tapping his phone a dozen times to get a response (85), and then I was teaching my mother how to use an iPad and noticed it was not that responsive to her taps. I sometimes need to tap twice to get anything to happen (50+), this helps me understand why.

You should check if there's a system setting to adjust the touch sensitivity, it's usually billed as a way to compensate for screen protectors but it'll probably also help with dry fingers not being detected reliably.

See also the linked article. You can mitigate that by getting a stylus.
