Final Decision: Use Linear Displacement Only and Ignore Path Curvature — But That Defeats the Model In modern simulation, modeling, and motion planning, the choice of displacement modeling profoundly impacts accuracy, performance, and realism. One controversial and tempting approach is to use linear displacement only, deliberately ignoring path curvature. At first glance, this simplifies calculations and accelerates computation. However, this decision ultimately undermines the integrity and effectiveness of the model. --- ### Why Linear Displacement Seems Enticing
