To be honest I'm still not sure what your point is.

Staying with racing cars, an F1 cars steering ratio is pretty much 1:1
So you move the steering wheel 1 degree and the wheels turn 1 degree. A road car will have something like 15:1 or 20:1, it's just practicality. You don't need to reverse park an F1 car..

So the sports world does understand sensitivity.

I don't see the connection between a steering wheel and a flight stick on an F-16, they're totally different things. Surley the aircraft equivilent of steering is the rudder not the stick? The sticks there to let the pilot tell the plane to either roll, roll faster or don't roll, that's why the 16's stick isn't bothered about sensitivity of stick movement and is more interested in the pressure applied.
