Review comment:
In short, cos_distance do not obey triangle inequality, so we can **NOT**
say:
If cos_distance(b,x) < cos_distance(b,c)/2, then cos_distance(b,x) <
cos_distance(c,x)
However, the arc distance (or angle) obeys `Each side of a spherical
triangle is less than the sum of the other two.`, then we can get a angular
bound, and then a cos_distance bound:
if point cos_distance(b,x) < 1 - sqrt{ 1 - cos_distance(b,c) / 2 }, then
cos_distance(b,x) < cos_distance(c,x)
