Downloading the 67 MB movie you learn that if you are typing a word and the phone makes a suggestion to use a different word, you choose the alternative word by not tapping on it. Instead you tap the space bar. If you tap the suggested word, you end up not using it.
Revolutionary? Don't know.
Intelligent? No.
Illogical? Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!
Apple has fixed the link on their web site:

As for it being illogical? Try again. Let's say you're typing along, the logical keystroke after typing out a word is 'space'. So let's say you're typing out the word 'illogical' but instead you typed 'illogocal'. iPhone recognizes the error and suggests 'illogical'. by tapping on 'space', you tell iPhone to use the suggested word (one less keystroke to select the suggested word then tap 'space'. what's so illogical about that? it's brilliant actually.
