It simply isn't true. The screens don't forbid it, the drivers / the operating systems do. Get someone to write a good driver that supports precision touching on capacitive screens, and it'll work just like its resistive counterpart. The problem is not the screen technology, but the fact that all mobile operating systems are designed to be used with fat fingers.

That's a complete strawman and you know it.
