If the pianist things there's too little pedal travel put in some lost motion.  They might perceive that as enough.  The half pedal is a very precise spot and they've learned how to get there so as long as there is enough motion to the pedal I think they should be able to find it.

     Having the pedal lift only enough to clear the dampers from the string
will often make a very short throw of the pedal and some pianists have
expressed trouble half-pedaling with so little movement available.
I am interested in the collective ideas here about this.  Anyone?
