If you look at the inside of the recorder, you'll see that the laser head is
guided on a rail and is very difficult to "align". I would say the magnetic
head is more probable to be misaligned since it's on a long arm.
What you say is correct though, but the "wide" magnetic field is relative to the
laser head, but relative to a finger for instance it is probably still very
small.
I've heard of few cases in the past where them magnetic head became misaligned
(read bent), and recording problems were cured when the owners (!!!) bent the
magnetic head back.
