Combine that with the twitchiness of the slider to set the light level, and the uneven gradient in the intensity of the light in response to that slider (on my Aura HD, there's a massive difference in the light intensity between, for instance, 28% and 31%), and it's annoying that it's so easy to alter your light settings unintentionally because of this feature.

Any non-basic feature that can be activated by touch on the screen should have an on/off toggle in the settings, I reckon.
I have never accidentally adjusted the light. So yes, it's very easy not to do this unintentionally. I find most of the time I get the light as I want. But when I know it's not right, I go to the slider to see what it is at and fix the level.
