I think you've misread what people are saying. People understand there could be circumstances requiring less than direct nerve pathways. What people are saying to you is that they can see no such circumstances with regard to the RLN pathway, and when they ask you what such circumstances might be they get answers like this:
As you state, people can understand there could be circumstances requiring less than direct pathways. And yet not a single person has given an example of such a case. Even if we consider the household cabling scenario, there are countless circumstances requiring less than direct pathways. And yet not a single example was given barr the ones that I gave. I don't wish to spell out each and every example trust me but I have by no means exhausted all the possibilities.
My point is that people here (for reasons best known to themselves) don't want to give examples or possibilities. Maybe they are scared, maybe it's peer pressure I don't know. But don't tell me that that is good science.
