Abstract
Several issues are raised concerning the notion that a single strategy explains Fitts' law and the linear speed/accuracy trade-off. Two addi tional concerns are discussed: (1) distance is programmed, (2) the fac t that movements produced without the aid of vision obey Fitts' law do es not mean that sighted movements must be explained without regard to vision.
