Hello all I am back ----

Would it or could it be a balance of;

Distance ?
Effort ?
Time ?

First, distance seems to be the most important -- distance = to error closing
the distance, would reduce error

However it the behavior required to go in a straight line is greater than,
not going in a straight line, the output (behavior) may not appear goal
directed, by looking, only at the path taken.

If time is more important as a factor, effort and the cost of effort, matters
not.  Just get here as soon as possible, DAMM THE TORPEEDOS.

(P.S. in your critique, please include not just what is wrong with this
answer, but what may be right with it) I only ask because of past experiences
of being ripped.  I still am willing to be wrong, but I would like
confirmation of when I am right. :)-
