While that's true in a macro, that's not necessarily true if manually using Specialist actions. Suppose Whistle Stack is 7 and Inner Quiet is 5 when Good appears. Precise Touch isn't optimal since it would raise Inner Quiet to 7 and lower Whistle Stack to 6, meaning you'd miss a chance to use Trained Hand. Basic Touch, however, brings Inner Quiet to the same value as the Whistle Stack at 6, allowing use of Trained Hand.
