I'm as perplexed about this as you. Though I don't feel it's as big a
deal as some, because (perhaps luckily) I have only ever needed to do it
once since I bought my first Mighty Mouse when they first appeared.

I'm also perplexed at Apple's - strike that - Steve's hard-headed
unwillingness to implement a true right-click mechanism in the Mighty
Mouse. The sacrifices he's made to avoid it have resulted in a half-ass
(broken) implementation, where the occasional missed click is
commonplace. And for what gain?!
