Jim, I was thinking the same as you until I saw the High speed film made by Kawai that Don Mannino showd in Montreal 2 or 3 years ago. When the jack pinning was too loose, it was bouncing on and off from it's rest felt after a blow. This could cause the jack to miss if the note would be played just at the right (or not so right) moment. So I think the jack pinning has to be consistent and not too thight and not too loose.
