yeah, but the bigger gaps also mean that there is less reason to assume that is how they really move... I supose the reason for using virtual waves would be something like:
There are several things that affect their movement profile (which are the things I want to segment on) If virtuality affects their movement profile, I should segment on it. If it doesn't I should use virtual waves!
