Fergus,

English is English, not the sum of its roots. Why distort a word with a
clear and established meaning, and give it a new meaning that directly
conflicts with its established meaning (so that three 'orthogonal' paths
CAN pass through a point in a plane) in precisely the context it is to be
used? Seems a lot harder to 'explain' than edge-paths and point-paths.
It's (literally) a poor choice of words.
