Not even sure how to approach this in a critical way. It reminds me of the sort of made-up, seemingly-mathmatical, but ultimately befuddling stats that you sometimes here in infomercials for copper-wrist band arthritis cures.
The windows mouse pointer seems to work on a pixel-by-pixel basis, when moving slowly. Not sure what kind of precision they are after. And if there was some serious problem, then gamers, who 1) Rely upon precise mouse movements and 2) Have low transition costs, would have moved to Macs a long, long, long time ago.
