Gestures can be hard to tell apart (e.g. scroll and swipe, and press and swipe in some cases)
A general strategy is to disable one handler when another is active
E.g. when a user starts obviously scrolling, we disable swipe for a small time period. But even then, if they keep moving beyond the end of the content with force, this likely means swipe (or pull down to refresh) was intended.
