Depending on the type of work being performed and the type of user (data
entry vs. casual user) I could see examples where the mouse driven
calendar control becomes a longer process.  For example, if you're
keying into name and address fields, then selecting a date the switch
from keyboard to mouse is a time-waster.  And you haven't convinced me
that selecting a date is any more accurate than keying it.  A human can
just as easily mis-select as he or she can mis-key.
