And you would mostly be wrong, wouldn't you? Make that Theory 1, Practice O. Or have I misunderstood what you meant?
yes - selective part-quoting again (quite a talent) - you did not read my post. Try the first line again?

New answer = probably not. (New question. Why on earth would anyone want to fly around an arc to go from A to B and increase route distance by 3.142xxx when we know there is a straight line route??)

Too may variables.

BadMachine at what level is your understanding of basic navigation? Do you understand that cross-track error due to drift is dependent on flight time?
As IC said, perhaps it would help us to give you a sensible answer if you could explain what you were seeking to do/prove/develop/solve - or, even what you actually do/what your interest in aviation is?
