I think you're assuming that the game should move the on-screen paddle one pixel for every encoder tooth, and that it should take one full rotation of the spinner knob to move all the way across the screen.

On the one pixel-per-tooth half of that, :dunno. 

As for the other half, you can move the paddle all the way across the screen with considerably less than a full turn of the spinner.  That's good in a game like Arkanoid, you have very fine control on-screen without ever letting go or adjusting your grip, and you can move all the way across the screen very quickly without ever losing that control.  That's what the extra-high resolution is for.
