Fair enough. The app I'm writing is a newspaper-like app, similar to The New York Times app. The client for whom I'm writing this app wants the reader to be able to swipe horizontally to switch sections (say, from "latest news" to "sports" to "entertainment", etc). Each section has its own view controller, all of which manage a shared view. That view is part of a larger view which contains, among other things, a scrollable list of section "buttons." That larger view, of course, has its own view controller.
The reader can tap on a section button and the contents of that section get dumped into the tableview but the client also wants the user to be able to swipe horizontally to switch sections. Naturally, the view controller for a section is not the appropriate place to manage the swipe since it involves knowledge about other sections. So, I need to intercept the touch events received by the table view, pass them a couple of levels up to the view controller of the larger view, do the analysis to figure out whether to swipe or allow the table to scroll, then pass the events back down to the table if the user intended to scroll vertically. The solution I indicated works fine, but I don't think it's very elegant. Personally, I think swiping to change sections is a bad idea, but that's not my call to make.
