It is when you have never used a tap-to-click device and thus are not used
to the extra-soft touch that it takes to move without tapping. Then
literally EVERY cursor move you make will trigger an accidental click. I
have personally experienced that. This is not an exaggeration at all.
that sounds like bug, please file it here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg, component
Input/synaptics with one or more evemu recordings attached that triggered
an accidental tap.
while tapping has its drawbacks, it's not supposed to be that bad.
