Can't remember where/when I first noticed the forward/reverse mismatch, but noting down here for reference.
Forward distance is the result of calling starA.distance(starB), and reverse distance is the result of calling starB.distance(starA). Manual distance is from manually counting the distance between A to B.
At the very least, a distance value should be independent of direction (ie, whatever the forward and reverse distances are between a given pair of stars, they should be equal). Distance values should also be invariant under translation - shifting the start and endpoints by the same amount shouldn't change the distance value.
