It's a common misconception that a fine point stylus will draw a thinner line than one with a wider tip. That's not the case. All styluses used on a capacitive screens must have the same width contact point, about the width of a finger tip just touching the screen. Finer or thicker lines depend upon the application (as you note above), not on the width of the contact point.
The Jot stylus does have a fine point but it is the transparent collar around the point that makes it work. That is what activates the sensors in the capacitive screen. There is a slight advantage (at least at first) in being able to see the center of the contact point but once you learn to use any particular stylus, you'll be able to estimate that center point without thinking about it.
