Weird geometry is at best a flawed heuristic for gerrymandering. There are good reasons for oddly shaped districts (coastlines, natural features, "logical" constituencies in an odd layout, etc. . . .) Some of the geometric approaches gloss around this stuff but none do what the efficiency gap does: actually identify unfair "wasted" votes. The exciting thing about efficiency gap is exactly how unambiguous it is which makes it GREAT for basing a law on.
