(...) The problem with this method is it applies uneven force to the object through the fingers while they are closing. So if you have two fingers and one hits the object first it will have to apply enough pressure to the object to over come the (...) (20 years ago, 18-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
