And herein lies the arguement, I believe.
Perhaps those who argue against "right angles" envision a
geometry where the line has a squared corner both on the
inside of the elbow and the outside.
I would wager that those who claim no material effect are
working with the usual CAD system/photoplotter geometry of
a squared corner inside the elbow and a radiused one on the
outside.
An attempt at ascii art:
