Magic Mouse does not do the intended operation

When I click on a link with the magic mouse, then maybe 4 times out of 5 I get "look up (word)" or a context menu, instead of what I want, which is usually y simply "follow link" or "open file". Why doesn't the mouse just do teh obvious thing, instead of all of this other random, irritating, useless behavior?

Be certain you are clicking the left side of the mouse as opposed to right (Secondary) click.
