 The only disruptions in a fillet graph will be when the connections cross

+This makes a complex filleted graph is far easier to read than a box-line

+With fillets, tracing a connection is
 perceptually easy even if it crosses with other connections.

+We tested the ease of perceiving fillets in a controlled laboratory
 experiment with ten naïve participants. Eight different graphs were
 tested, of which one was implemented with "perfect" fillets. The other
 seven graphs were "incomplete" fillets or different common node-link
