If that statement were false, the only winners of Einstein would be swerve drives, and I know you're a smart kid who follows FRC and its history, so you know that's not the case. Can swerve be advantageous for some? Certainly. Is it ever necessary though? Never.

I know it's a universal truth. But it always will be, unless the rules starts demanding swerve drives. The rules also don't specify that you have to drive, so therefore it's unnecessary to drive. But it's useless to say that because driving is useful. Same with swerves. It's not necessary, but that means nothing (or almost nothing) in terms of whether it should be done or not.
