Try watching an experienced multi-button mouse user. They don't have to reposition their hand three times to cross the screen, or wait 300ms between every action for the gesture recognition algorithms to time out. Watching my coworkers pause all the time with their magic touchpads was very jarring for someone used to a more seamless flow of thought into action with a mouse. They probably don't even realize they are pausing, rather just subconsciously trained to avoid gestural misdetection by working more slowly.
And an experience trackpad user will have a ton of custom gestures set up, so half the time they don't even have to move the cursor around or resort to the keyboard.
