Ah yes they were tapping, but with the quantize function on, or off? ;-)

I find when I perform directly into the sequencer like this, I can make it 
feel 'groovier' over multiple repetitions of the very same loop (which is 
what I'm interested in) by tweaking the values toward some ideal that I 
would've been 'feeling' when I performed it. It remains my belief that said 
ideal has a mathematical basis.
