He clearly points out that scrolling is a good enough reason t o break the rule.

>- Long pressing to delete an app, and the app opens in the meantime? Awkward UX.

I don't think he's envisioning a world where long press and act-on-press are valid on the same object. You'd have to abandon long press and double clicks.

Well, you don't have to abandon double clicks in probably the most common case, where click is a non-destructive action like "select" that can precede the double-click action (e.g. "open").

Long-press does indeed have to go, though.
