…Right! [Truth over solace in lies, except when dignity is on the line, I guess] Admittedly not the most actionable line of inquiry at the moment, but the theorem does have some interesting applications vis a vis bone reconstruction, or so I tried to tell Griffin here.

If you’d like, I can build a construct and show you both what I mean.
