Figure caption: A pathological case for the isotropy metric that demonstrates an undesirable behavior. The isotropic coverage shown (blue) results in an isotropy metric value of ≈ 0.3 (﹩{{ \mathcal C }}_{1}﹩, shown in blue). Adding two data points (red) strategically (i.e., in an anisotropic configuration) decreases the overall isotropy of the array and lowers the metric score by a factor of ≈ 1/2 (﹩{{ \mathcal C }}_{2}﹩, shown in red+blue=purple). This change makes sense given the considerations of the metric—the new array is more anisotropic and therefore has a lower score. However, this behavior is undesirable since, intuitively, we expect that an array with more baselines will perform better than an array with fewer baselines. Note: in order to compute the isotropy metric as defined in Section 5.4, the example coverages shown above are assumed to be part of the 2017 April 7 EHT coverage of Sgr A*, and the corresponding value of ﹩{{ \mathcal K }}_{{\rm{\max }}}﹩ is adopted (see Appendix B).
