Sorry about that, it was bad wording. I meant to say that you can't put the connecting lines anywhere besides the visible points of the greatest diameter without making a wrong-looking cylinder. You'll end up describing a narrow cylinder with a wide elliptical or circular face at the end. To demonstrate (cylinder traced from Loomis because I'm lazy, and it turns out that I cannot freehand an ellipse on a tablet even when literally tracing):
You can put the connecting lines here:

But not, say, here:

What I'm trying to say is that you'll have found the correct place for the connecting lines when you find the place to put them that doesn't get you a crappy-looking cylinder. Helpful, huh?
