There is no way Fred G. Sanford would be able to do that 4 finger thing a ma jig.
 
Agree. Apple crossed the line with Four-Finger Pinch. It's impossible to do.

I found that the easiest way for me is use four FINGERS, not your thumb, and just spread them out. The reason this might work better is because the thumb area of the trackpad is less sensitive as OS X expect your thumb to rest there all the time, so it ignores accidental input from the bottom of the trackpad.

I'm sorry, but what bunch of babies. The 4 finger gesture is ridiculously easy to do, and if it's really that big of a deal for you, get better-touch-tool and change it to whatever you want. Sheesh!

Yeah I agree the 4 finger gesture isn't hard or uncomfortable. It felt a bit weird the first couple times but I'm used to it now. You could always assign launchpad a corner in hotcorners
