Initial select is indeed done with the mouse without modifiers. It's only drag-select which requires the modifier. This seemed to me to be a good compromise, given the exact issue that Martijn raises - when is a click and drag a move attempt, and when is it the beginning of a drag selection? My suggestion is to disambiguate using the shift key - hold it down, and you won't accidentally move anything. Other drawing applications may possibly do drag-select without shift, but I don't think they generally run into the information density problems we have when zoomed out. I've certainly never edited a CAD file complex enough that I couldn't find an empty area to start a drag-select in.
