Sorry, my answer didn't come through where you could see which part was my 
response.  This is it:
What we see are "lane changes" as opposed to "Chicago Boxes."  If you shorten 
the dimensions of a lane change sufficiently, eventually you get a Chicago 
Box.  The closest definition I can give you is that if it's fun it's probably 
a 
lane change.  If it isn't fun because it was too tight, it may be a Chicago 
Box.  John Kelly, can you define it better?
