  Line expert here. It’s technically not a line. It’s many data points that may seem to look like a line, but it’s not. You see a line is the shortest distance between 2 points. By definition they are straight. This dataset is not a line.

  Here’s a list of my credentials:

    Is a line really the shortest distance between two points if I can fold the paper and punch a pencil through it?

        Too late, I already had the first interdimensional handshake.

      It’s still the shortest distance between two points, but your example makes “distance” ambiguous, so the answer depends on what definition you end up using.

    I’m showing you a line with my hand. Can you recognize it?

      I have my doubts in your dexterity, however I’ve got a suggestion for a point that you can insert said line.

        You ARE a line expert. Sorry I doubted you.

    I don’t give two shits about your LiNe ExPeRtIsE unless you built at least ten >3 minute tracks in the original Line Rider.

      Brother, I did my dissertation on Line Rider.

        Hats off to you, then. I see you truly know your lines.
