I think you missed the context in which I posted that.
Read Ghaz's post for clarification. It was a request of hypothetical gamers who would argue pivoting as "must pivot 90° before moving in a straight line."
I mean, I even quoted the relevant line. Had you read the quote and my post I think it would have been clear what I was talking about.
Good PSA lesson there: Always read the full post before replying!
