Besides, when hair is flying it'd be very difficult to be that accurate at speed. Even in this demonstration you missed the throat and had to move your hand back over to it. In a real scuffle, you might end up jamming your fingers on their chest, shoulder, or hard skull depending on what sudden movements they may be taking.
Not a fan of the finger jab idea, but those actions aren't finger jabs in my VT anyway.
