Assuming you meant 'off', then, nope, I am correct.
Naturally, this assumes that you are a stylus tip that has been securely bonded to a pipe end (i.e. you can't rotate laterally about your own vertical centre of axis).
Remember, the vertices on the major axis of an ellipse have the smallest radius of curvature of any points. Any curves you encounter that you can't fit into will require you to increase your elevation.
Of course, you could always turn your toes and elbows outward and become a MicroRidge.
