I just don't see it as an improvement security-wise. People who didn't want to use a passcode are going to avoid this because it still requires a passcode. It isn't another layer of security. It is more like making another door, a door that the manufacturer tells you won't always open for you.

Can you give me a link to a quote or tech document?

Apple's presentation video points to the opposite conclusion. It shows an image that gets more complete as the person places the finger repeatedly on the scanner in the process of setting up Touch ID, as the voice is saying "and every time you use it, it gets better at reading your print".
