Except for the obvious fact that it's 100% unambiguous.  It's not
uncommon for the FDM definition and 3D model to be done by different
authors.  Take 21 people and ask them to identify the "POS" (or
quarter chord point, or aerodynamic center, or even c.g.) and you'll
get 21 different answers.  Any child over six can find the tip of the
nose on a photograph.

Having the FDM coordinates and model coordinates match up is
critically important for collision issues like gear compression.
