You only have a limited spot on the circle where the head wind is on your nose at the time of touch down
and you that's the point where you can touchdown on the actual centerline, on target.

Now what happens with some kind of gusts slowing down or speeding your descentrate At that point you either overshoot that one spot where you are square, or you end up short..
quite the compromise.

Either way , when that happens you have to some how either land off center on the embankement OR you have to change direction and depart from the ideal head wind heading??

Either way.. Life just got more difficult for the pilot.

a Straight runway, you kan extend your glide, and touch down a bit further.. no biggie.. crab it if you must
either way there is much more room to extend and try to put the plane down without having to adjust the plan or direction to aim for..
Wind is and will always be a variable.. but at least the runway is a constant.. Not so with that circular contraption..

It's a joke really, How a university can come up with such nonsense and try to sell that idea in public is beyond me.
introducing an variable to counter another variable out of your control, to an already huge mix of variables.. that's just the opposite of what is needed.
