I like footfootfoot's illustration. I don't agree with his conclusion because I don't agree with his reasoning.

What if the tree in his picture were a lazy susan in the middle of a round table. As the hunter walks around the table, does he walk around the lazy susan? What if the lazy susan is rotating in the same direction and at the same speed as the hunter? What if the lazy susan is stopped?

HLJ, do you believe the hunter has circled the tree?

If I walk around your house when you're home, have I circled your house? Have I circled you? In what way does it matter how you're moving inside your house as I circle it with respect to my circling you?

ps, please don't shoot me, I'm just trying to make a point, not looking for a way into your house.
