Any is it me, or are they implying one should punch using the face of your fingers? Way to enforce the "science geeks can't fight" stereotype. ;)

I didn't get that, I think they were implying that the thumb reenforces the fist at it's weakest point aka: where it 'connects' with the palm allowing pressure exerted on the front of the knuckles to be evenly dispersed without compromising the structural integrity of the first.

This coupled with the 'curling under' effect of the fingers allows for a much stronger punch. If you were to make a 'fist' like that of other primates right now, ie. thumb along the side, fingers flat to the palm of the hand and punch something (or even just put pressure on the punching-area of your knuckles) it's a huge difference. It's the same hand position used when cracking your knuckles.
