There are those who say that the Hands can move only in a Circle (Circle Path Delivery) a contention that would make the Straight Line Delivery Paths an impossibility and hence bogus the catalogued Variations.

Yes, but if the Straight Line portion of the Delivery Path was that short (only the length of those three dots joined up), this implies a much bigger curved portion of the path, i.e. a big pulley for a Random Sweep Release. Annikan's Release clearly occurs well past those three dots. Further evidence, which unfortunately we do not have here, is that Hand Speed continues to increase right until Release. I would presume the Hands have not reached their maximum speed after the last of those three dots, hence that cannot be the end of the 'Straight' Line Delivery Path.
Any comments?
Thanks.
