Oh yes, we Do....Drew.

This animated-gif shows that Patty was, in fact, swinging her arm outwards, laterally...(directly towards the camera)....as she was swinging her arm forward.....since there is clearly some significant foreshortening of her upper arm, in the image on the left...





So, due to the fact that Patty's arm was swung out laterally, to the side...the measurement of Patty's elbow-reach, laterally, should indeed have a high degree of accuracy to it.

Even though there probably is some degree-of-error, due to the arm swinging forward...it's probably not enough to account for the large difference between Patty's and Bob's measured elbow-reaches.


I'll be using a physical model to determine what the degree of that potential error is....sometime in the near future.
