Way back in the dark ages there was a company that was offering =
prototype
and small lot "PCBs" that consisted of glued down wires on a circuit =
board.
And before that there was this technology called wire wrap which usually
never had a reference plane.  And I can imagine someone trying to fix a
circuit board problem with a yellow wire and needs to analyze the fix.

Are they teaching SI in college now? wow, times have
changed.

other than a co-axial setup, do we have any occurances
of having a circular trace on a PCB? trapeziodal yes,
but maybe some fab folks can enlighten us.
thanks in advance.
