Like I said quit manufacturing arguments.LOL, for the vast majority of aiming conversations we deal in equatorial contact points and the tangents based off of those estimated contact points aligned with simple Newtonian physics. Yes the shooter is assessing the shot with the intention to shoot the shot. Aiming is always the prelude to taking the shot in billiards sports. If you need to see some math that covers the physics involved this website might be of interest to you. We typically don't use equations to estimate tangent lines and deviations from those tangent lines.

Do you really expect pool players (or anybody) to understand what you mean by terms like this?
Well you certainly cleared that up.
JB will argue it. If he paid any attention instead of rebuttling words he can grasp he'd know what that means.
Well you specified equatorial which in most cases is only relevant to the plane geometry of it.
The clarity of your answers is transparent.
It is you whom everyone sees through.
