- absolutely. The subtle fact you have 'overlooked' is that a gloved or sweaty hand can normally quickly re-establish the necesary grip, or at least that is my experience. In addition the gloved or sweaty hand is capable of quickly being re-directed to another control or selector if need be. Therein lies a significant difference.
