wobbly trigger?

Talking specifically about single shot precision here...Conventional wisdom would say a bearing trigger to remove any sideways movement is the best set up. But I just wonder if a trigger that allowed significant left to right movement, may be more forgiving to shoot. Not just sloppy manufacture movement, but designed to allow movement, a bit like a dangling pendulum.

I can imagine extreme focus on a clean rearward pull may improve technique, and also that any minor pushing while triggering may not affect the direction of aim as much as a fixed design.

Just a thought - any one tried anything like this?

Might work for free pistol, but with anything else, you still need to apply significant pressure to fire. If you apply that pressure off axis, it's going to move the pistol, or move the trigger off axis until it hits a stop. It might make an interesting training device if you could feel the wobble, but had to move the trigger straight back in order to fire.
