Two open Vs that meet: anchor points 
distinct, but closer than 2× finger-height  If either finger height is more than half the distance between the points on the x-axis, the two Vs will intersect nontrivially, and otherwise not; this is worth remembering for later.

  By the way, when Vε(x) and Vε'(y) do meet, it’s at the point ((x+y)/2, |x-y|/2) . [ >> ]
