It does! My bad.

Interesting test following this earlier post:

I have to correct this: The BB only becomes slightly less optimal in the 
example cited. With increasing complexity of the object however, 
optimisation kicks in.

(1) use the following object: superellipsoid {<0.50, 3.50>}. The test is 
optimal.

(2) change the object to: superellipsoid {<0.50, 3.50> rotate 45}. The 
BB has now 'at least 5% "slack".'
