twitch:
1. to tug or pull at with a quick, short movement;pluck
2. to jerk rapidly
3. to move (a part of the body) with a sudden, jerking motion.

The problem isnt that its a bad thing, the problem is that it doesnt leave room for anything else in CS: movement, timing, style... etc.
Twitch is aiming, I never said it wasnt. But it is inherently different from say, tracking (following the target with your crosshair) in that it relies completely on your ability to move your mouse a very precise distance instantly. Twitch aiming, for instance, can be mistaken for an aimbot, there is zero travel time and the crosshair hops to the target in the fastest possible manner and shoots almost simultaneously. If you watch a number of gamers some will clearly have "twitchier" aim than others, it's not a label you apply to a game or not. Although in something like CS, it seems that the more skilled players are required to use it to win.

You are my case in point, since I just said CS was almost all twitch. (You rarely get to shoot at your target 10x in a row while they jump all over the screen)
Obviously you do your 180 shots slower than an aimbot, since you dont know where the target is precisely.
And of course, if you did do it that fast then I aggree that yes it IS impressive precisely because it is so difficult; not because it is the most reliable way to hit somebody behind you, even if it is the fastest.

I played superfast instagib, I think they shot a bit too fast =p, since I hardly ever used them full auto. The increased movement speed did make it pretty awesome though. Instagib is like a player-magnet, if they have instagib it would end up being played by waaaaay too many players.
