I understand and appreciate striking a balance between precision and a good story. But I thought in this case, perhaps this was a big deal. I thought one of the reasons why 2D graphics and 3D graphics are so different is because of ... is it topology? ... For any arbitrarily complex curve, I think I can give you a 1D parameterization for it. At least to some desired accuracy. What condition is required of a surface so that you can do the same, with a 2D parameterization?
