I theorize that the hardness that you tap the display during calibration somehow sets the force level necessary to register as a "tap".

I used to have problems with my touchscreen being overly sensitive when I would calibrate using a very delicate tap. Using a harder tap now I don't seem to have the sensivity problem anymore.
You might be right here... I always calibrate with the stylus, very lightly touching the exact center of the crosshairs for precision. I have occasional doubling and such, but not horribly bad.

I thought I would try your suggestion, so I gave it a solid peck with the stylus at each point. Result: Doubling like crazy, and spurious motion to far corners of the screen. Recalibrated normally, and it went back.

The plural of anecdote is not data, of course, but it seems to have an effect. So it's probably a useful tool to deal with varying screens by varying the calibration pressure,
