The jaggies are evidenced by the digital ink not
tracking with the stylus in a pseudo-random manner.
The way this manifests its self is that you can be
writing on the screen, happy as you please, then in
the middle of forming a letter, and without you
removing the stylus from the screen, the digital ink
will suddenly and disasterously jump to some other
random part of the screen and continue doing this
until what you wrote resembles the jagged tracing of
electrical arcs in a Van-Degraff machine. Needless to
say, the resulting digital ink is unrecognizable by
you or the recognizer software.
