Hey wood,
Yoda made a very important point about the finite length of the club. Given that information, I'll tell you one of the ways that I explain this concept to my students.

Visual equivalents are exactly as stated. They are the player's VISUAL perspectives of on plane motions.

If you're facing the face of a clock, you see the second hand moving in a circle. If you're viewing the clock from the side, you see the second hand moving in a straight line. So, is it moving in a circle or on a straight line? Yes and yes, depending on perspective.

Your #3 pressure point is tracing the straight baseline of the plane. But, your eyes are not in your #3pp. Your eyes are slightly above the plane (the clock) on which the club travels. So, the #3pp feels the straight line and the eyes see the clubhead moving in a curve.
