There's my question. Can the weapon finesse feat work with touch attacks?

While it's not explicitly stated to the satisfaction of some, the general concensus is that melee touch attacks are generally finessable.

Yes, you can Finesse a touch attack.

It's not specifically stated anywhere, though, and requires a bit of a logic path:

• Every creature can make an unarmed strike.
• Unarmed strikes can be Finessed.
• You can use an unarmed strike to deliver a touch attack.
• You count as armed when doing so, and thus you don't provoke.
