Given a large enough set of data points on a map and you can draw anything you like.
Watkins talked about lines of sight and straight lines across a relatively small area. Personally I'm still open to that possibility.
I'm definitely not open however to 100 mile long energy lines going across the country eg St Michaels line... To this scientist, its unsubstantiated belief, no fact what so ever.
Couldn't agree more, especially the middle bit, which is the beautiful baby that gets thrown out with the ridiculous bath water.
Why go in a straight line ? Apart from Richard Long , in real life/topography i.e. away from maps , it's rarely the quickest option .
