I think the point is that sliders suck: 1. they are very hard to use - unless you have fingers as thin as a stylus. Especially the ones that go close to the screen edge. 2. They are impossible to use whilst walking. 4. They take too long to operate - seem to use a lot of processing as they "hang" for a few seconds part way until the display settles.
Basicly, sliders are inappropriate for digital (on/off) values - thats what radio buttons are for. And yes I would love to have the time to figure out how the opaque mess that is e works so I can fix these HCI disasters, at least for myself ...
