Let's not go personal. I did not ask for an apology of ScGeom. How does
this help in making Dem3DofGeom (or Yade in general, for that matter)
better? I don't see a single answer of that kind in you mail
unfortunately.

Suppose sphere and facet in contact, where the facet rotates along axis
parallel to the contact normal, so that the contact circumscribes a
circle around the facet's rotation center -- will that work?

Yes, please -- unless you finally say what is the benefit of that
change.
