(I'm not sure I like the whole 'gesture' concept either - if you're
starting
to introduce that level of complexity, maybe it's simply the wrong tool for
the job, and some other - possibly as-yet-undeveloped - input device would be

The Magic Mouse works exactly the same as the
Mighty Mouse when it comes to
clicking: there's a single switch for detecting the clicking motion, then
there's a capacitive surface that detects where your fingers are on the
mouse surface and interprets the click as a left or right click,
accordingly.
Weird. I've Googled this and in essence, you're right.
I'm not saying it's weird you're right! I'm saying it seems a weird
way to do it, to me. 2 microswitches would have been easier than a
single one and a sensor to tell where your finger is.
