I actually meant just the part of really touching the basketball. Like for friction people have this image of a rough surface each object has which intersect each other and so on. While it's not such a big step I found people being surprised that things don't "touch" each other at all because their knowledge usually stops at a mechanical world view...

For their multidimensional existance of the ball I guess you're right and they did a bit too much here although the idea behind it imo gets expressed pretty welll... laugh
