This is true, a stylus really can't be employed. I think the larger point is Betty thinks you can draw fine detail with a finger, and those of us who have tried are just saying you can get FINER detail from a pointier object like a stylus. Betty's NY'er covers are examples of what you can get with your fat finger, haven't seen anything with fine detail yet.
