It sounds like your comments actually agree with my suggestions ;-)

To clarify, I didn't mean that pixel-scroll-precision-mode _cannot_ be
used with wheels, I just said pixel-scroll-mode is _better_ there
(because it requires no tricky configuration); conversely, for
touchpads, pixel-scroll-precision-mode produces a much better UX OOTB.

This particular discussion is about two modes that have very similar
names.  I think explaining the strengths and weaknesses (even if they
are minor and can be overcome, given enough efforts) goes at least
some way towards resolving user confusion about these two, and
changing the name, even if not 110% accurate, is even better.
