Wouldn't the midpoint also fail to be the furthest point from the line
whenever the two off-curve control
It can happen, though. In fact I now don't think it can happen. If
there are any good mathematicians out there (better than me at this,
which sets quite a low bar), please confirm that no point on a cubic
spline curve with both control points on the same side of the straight
