This is incorrect, as I've been saying. The term "path" is another way of saying "track" - it has nothing to do with "rough paths." If you can provide some evidence to the contrary, rather than simply making statements, then maybe we could all learn something. Otherwise, all I can do is keep correcting this type of misinformation so that misleading impressions don't continue to pervade the discussion. And I am wide open to being proven wrong - but proof requires evidence, and so far I've seen none.
