        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:
