1A) Try lifting a stylus/pen up from the tablet, and placing the stylus back at exactly the point where you first pulled away. Alternatively, try laying the the stylus down on the tablet, and then picking it back up at precisely where you were holding it. > 2.

Sure, the above is *possible* for simple tasks, but is virtually impossible for actual work without some level of strain, or at least discomfort. Practically, you are going to move your hand. A lot. The point is, the above scenarios don't necessarily imply a *better* user input method, only an alternative one.
