"From this, the diameter can be intuitively understood as the greatest possible distance between two points in $S$."

"It isn't true".

 * Well, $\operatorname{diam} \left({S}\right)$ is not the greatest possible distance between two points in $S$ (such a greatest number might not even exist). Maybe it can be intuitively thought of as that, but isn't that possibly misleading? --abcxyz (talk) 15:58, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
