 Drawing problem: You need to draw some text, freehand, into a box
that is 1/4 inch high by 2 inches long.  Better results using a finger
or using a fine stylus?

What others are arguing, is that the physical nature of painting with a
brush, or drawing with a range of pens and pencils, can be duplicated using
a computer to change the characteristics of the single drawing implement you
use.

And I think what Steve is arguing (originally) is, if you want to, say, "paint" some freckles on a face, it's really kinda hard to do with a big fat finger and not get them places they don't belong.

Of course you can draw a variety of different sized strokes in software, you can just do it easier with a finer pointing device.
