To me, typing on a phone is a lot easier to learn in terms of dexterity than threading a needle.

I'm not convinced. My mother can thread a needle just fine, but the keyboard on an iPhone is very tiny, and she often produces incorrect keystrokes.

Next time I am intoxicated, I should (unscientifically) test this by comparing the difficulty of threading a needle with that of sending an accurate and correct text message

I have found the position of my finger in relation to a touchscreen has a substantially weaker correlation with successfully pressing the button I want than the position of the thread in relation to a needle's eye has with successfully threading the needle.
