As someone who works in 3D graphics I frequently have to deal with the headache of the fact that people insist on using Euler angles to parameterise the entirety of SO(3) even though it gives a a multivalued and singular representation. And now someone has figured out how to spread this evil to other Lie groups too. It’s too much to bear!
