In Response To: Touch Move rule, dangers (Nack Ballard)

And I don't remember hearing anyone complain that he is not allowed to test out moves by playing them on the board before deciding on his actual move.

Do you really think this is a sound reason for justifying a touch-move rule in backgammon? Or was there a missing smiley emoticon?
