I would have thought the opposite. You rest your arm in the same bad way (according to wacom) as when your holding a mouse, but instead of using/tensing up your whole hand and wrist like with a mouse, your using much smaller and weaker muscles in your fingers, hand and arm to do a lot more more work than they should be able to.

Either method is bad though, so it doesn't matter, best bet is to mix up your input methods I guess.
