I understand your point. But just an example, since I use Ubuntu (from Hardy), I always used AWN and 32 x 32 pixels for icon's launchers and never have fuzzy problems... Even with Cairo and Docky.
But, if we use 52 x 52 small screens will loose to much space on launcher, and auto-hide can't be the solutions, for many users like me, auto-hide is not used.. Even more, with 52 x 52 icon's size, we can't add more apps to the launcher, I know the option arrange icons when we have a lot of apps on launcher or to many apps open, but this option is very unusable, it's look nice, but it's unusably..
