No shit. This is why all the good professional gear in any field (think of 100 k€ cinema cameras or high price audio recording equipment) has physical switches on it. Having a 5 position turn switch that you can turn blindly (with a satisfying physical response) will always be better than a touch screen that you have to look at to figure out:

- is the touchscreen in the right context? (Sure you could make important controls the same independent of the submenu, tab, page etc, but you still have to hit the right button)

- did you actually hit the button?
