This one is about intentionally making a (destructive) gesture, but failing. > If that were true, you'd still have visual feedback when accidentally > hitting Alt-F C, giving the user a clue to what might have happened. > Gestures give no cue at all, apart from the cursor shape, but this in > itself is not enough to know what's going on.
