The non-smoothness of android interfaces is a gigantic hulking monstrosity of an issue. I deal with it dozens of times a day, and have been for years now on multiple phones. It is the sole reason why anyone cares whether android does hardware or software graphics acceleration. No one would care if there wasn't a problem for which they picked software acceleration as a cause.
The post spends pages on how hardware acceleration in android is just fine, but it completely ignores the actual problem. This is like a man in court for a DUI who bases his whole defense around the fact that he has a legitimate driver's license.
Going from Heinlein's razor, I assume that google does not know the cause of the problem. The alternative is that google is deliberately trying to mislead us by ensconcing the clunkiness issue within the hardware acceleration issue in the belief that by disproving the software acceleration claims they can nullify the elephant in the room: poor user interface performance.
