Re: [ATM] PLOP Assumptions

I'd more think that keeping to point contact points will give the worst case
calculations.  Using area contacts should decrease the amount of deformation
and that, while it will give a more accurate result, may not be the best as
the contact area will change from one scope to another.
Leaving the contacts as points will produce a reault that you know won't
happen in the real world would probably be nicer for the average person.
