I didn't understand Fitt's Law as well as I thought

"Visualizing Fitt's Law" reviews a basic principle of UI design:

"Basically ... the time to acquire a target is a function of the distance to and size of the target."
"Although the basic message is obvious (big things are easier to select) it is the precise mathematical characterization that is exciting ... small increases in size for small objects make it much easier to select them (whereas small increases in size for big objects don’t make that much difference). And the same applies for changes in target distance."
