Thanks for the clarification Mark, but I disagree with your last  
statement:

I think the feat would definitely be mechanically possible, but your  
point about how musically necessary it is may be valid.  However,  
there may be people aurally astute enough to distinguish between more  
than 1000 velocity levels.  If this is humanly possible, then I think  
one could argue that there would be benefit in increasing the  
sensitivity level.  But I agree that it is not extremely important.
