It was a "to what extent" question - I don't see why all you people who think you studied nothing about "detours" are whining...you could have said that as a result of the understanding of physical journeys that you have gained through your study of your prescribed text, related and BoS that while the world of physical journeys may involved unexpected detours, these are not central because (points here).
Though I do have some difficulty understandning why some people are saying to all of us who argued obstacles, are wrong?
Obstacles might not equal detours, but they are certainly unexpected facets of the journeys, and cause a 'change of plan' if you will.
Like i said before, and some other people have said, you could have also argued emotional growth as an unexpected detour - do people set out on a physical journey and say YES IM GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT PERSON WHEN I GET BACK!!! Or is it unexpected? The world of physical journeys means that it doesn't end when the actual journey ends, its forever.
Lets test some of the other concepts I had studied, and see if we can force fit them..:
-"often a physical journey commences from the desire to fulfill a dream" - maybe as a result of a physical journey, there is an unexpected detour in the sense that the traveller realises they may have had different motives/intentions for the journey? dunno..
- "people have different attitudes torwards the physical journey". Erm tough again...maybe the unexpected detour could be that people realise their attitude can change from a physical journey, and i dunno.
I guess I can see why if you studied concepts like those, you may have had difficulty fitting them? though again you could disagreed, and argued from there.
