So, do you think that a straight shot at the target is created when the face points at the target at separation while the path is still moving down, out and forward as mentioned to a low point plane that points to the target?

I was recently taught that the face and path have to be pointed in the same direction at separation to hit a straight flying shot. (assuming centered contact)
I'd say draw if I understand you correctly given enough club head speed and enough divergence between face angle and path. But you'll notice that in the drawings of 2-c homer assumed separation to be at low point so the line of compression is pointed in the same direction as the face.....along the target line. I assume he did this to assume straight away ball flight , shot shaping being outside of the discussion at hand. Compression namely.
