Read the FAQ explanation of Comprehensible InputReal Context
Undistorted describes something that has not been twisted, warped, or misrepresented. It can refer to a picture, a report, a map, or a voice that presents facts clearly and without alteration. In everyday use you might say a photograph remains undistorted, or that an account gives an undistorted view of events. The term emphasizes fidelity, clarity, and truthfulness, and it is often contrasted with distorted versions that mislead. When describing data or measurements, undistorted results mean the numbers reflect reality rather than manipulation. It implies integrity and straightforwardness rather than bias or change.
