Summary:
When a user taps on a home screen folder, there are two ways to dismiss it and go back to the home screen: tap outside of the folder or click the home button. But my muscle memory learned that "5-finger pinch in" gesture means "home screen" and I found myself instinctively trying to pinch the screen instead of tapping outside. This is especially because in iOS 7 a folder doesn't just "roll out", but covers the whole screen (like an app).

I've had a family member play around with my dev iPad and I noticed that they too had a "5-finger pinch in reflex" when they tapped on a folder

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tap on any folder on the home screen
2. Try to do the 4/5-finger pinch-in gesture

Expected Results:
The folder follows the fingers pinching in, closes, and reveals the home screen

Actual Results:
Nothing happens

Version:
iOS 7 GM on iPad 3.
