That would be true if the screen were using resistive technology. It is not, as far as I know. It is using capacitive technology, which means a "fleshy" thing has to come in contact with it in order for the digitizer to recognize anything. iPhone is the same way (if you put on a glove, it won't react to your touch). The included stylus uses electromagnetics.

So, as unbelievable as it may seem to you, no, a normal stylus can't interact with the TX2 touch screen.
