    Tacking back and forth is kinda the opposite of a straight line though, isn’t it?

      If you zoom out far enough, the zig zags look like a straight line. Something like a fractal or how they measure coastlines.

      All your tacks are straight, they just turn every so often. Over time that adds up to Velocity Made Good.
