I agree, Glen.  Regarding obscurity, with enough study, which some of the high school students attempted, you could see how the change in heading is the integral of the turn rate, which is controlled by the rudder and yoke, etc.

It's difficult to tell whether it's obtuse. That depends a bit on who's trying to understand the model. But, yes, it's definitely a naturfact. I think it would be safe to argue that all analog computers are further along toward the natural object end of the spectrum than digital computers.
