// Triangulation happens in 2d. We could inverse transform the polygon around the normal direction, or we just use the two
// most signficant axes. Here we find the two longest axes and use them to triangulate. Inverse transforming them would
// introduce more doubling point error and isn't worth it.
//
// SC says:
// This doesn't work: the vertices can be collinear when projected onto the plane of the two longest axes of the bounding box.
// Example (from real data):
//
// v[0] = (-13.7199, 4.45725, -8.00059)
// v[1] = (-0.115787, 12.3116, -4.96109)
