I don't think the OC was referring to multitouch, but rather how resistive touchscreens can measure different levels of pressure applied to them. For example, I have a Nokia N900 with a resistive touchscreen that I can draw with, pressing harder for a thick stroke and lightly for a thin one.

Exactly; however, if we're on it - it's a myth that multitouch is not possible on resistive screens. There exist resistive screens that support up to 10 touch points, and two-point gestures (swipe, pinch) without exact coordinates are very easy to get on most resistive screens.
