Obviously the title is hyperbole, but in order to be the "best explanation" I'd like to see some of the reasonable arguments that are used to justify "non-compact, non-fair" districts. Maybe that's because I remember reading this article (TBF, it is linked), particularly the section about "community of interest": https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/06/03/this-computer-programmer-solved-gerrymandering-in-his-spare-time/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/06/03/this-... Essentially the graphic shows how compactness can be unfair, but doesn't tell us what reasonable explanations can be used for non-compact districts.
