Karl Wright commented on LUCENE-6759:
-------------------------------------

Thinking through why one error measure just doesn't work in this case:

(1) The point in question is on the wrong side of the GeoCircle plane, and is 
pretty nearly the *closest* point on the XYZSolid to the GeoCircle plane.
(2) The slight tilt of the GeoCircle plane is enough to put the upper 
intersection point beyond the MINIMUM_RESOLUTION distance (at a distance of 
roughly 1e-8).  That removes the first candidate intersection point from 
consideration.
(3) Because the GeoCircle is almost at the edge of the world, the slope between 
the GeoCircle plane and the planet surface is quite high, so a small error 
distance in X translates to a large distance in Y or Z.  That allows the second 
candidate intersection point to be removed from consideration.
