But once there are three intersecting lines, the argument against 'equal numbers' on either side of any particular line is the other line - or two. As I put it earlier: 'And if our AP is not contained within the cocked hat, then where is it? If outside, but near one intersection then those 2 LOPs are roughly correct but the third is quite wrong. If outside, and somewhat halfway along one of the LOPs between 2 intersections, then that LOP is roughly correct but the other 2 must be decidedly dodgy. Is this' - these two scenarios - 'really the case 75% of the time?'
