There seems no way to stop touch screen focus movement so if the camera gently touches the body while walking the focus point is the wrong place most time yes you can recentre it but it is another thing to do and remember to do. Why Canon has not addressed this issue is bizarre and to advise turning all touch screen off is ridiculous.

The dustbin button centres the focus spot, unless you've reassigned it and I'd have thought it's easy to get into the habit of pressing it as you raise the camera to your eye.  Switching the camera off when it's not in use or folding the screen so it can't be scratched by your shirt buttons are both pretty effective.
