Casual users don't click to bring a tab to the front and accidentally hit the
close button that's taking up 1/4 of the tab they're clicking on?  Casual
users have better aim?  Is that because us advanced users are so shaking with
hate that we can't control the mouse any more?

I know what you're talking about, though.  Many people who use Firefox on my
computer without the close boxes on the tabs ask "how do I close a tab" not
knowing that they can use (ctrl|apple)-w for that.
There's stuff above here
