Picture it this way:

Have you ever let a heavy piece of wood (like a 4X8') fall onto the ground? Did you ever have one that seemed to get cushioned by air just before it hit the ground? That equates to a bearing surface that is true.

The same piece of wood hitting the ground at an angle is what an out of true journal is like as it relates to the connecting rod journal/bearing hitting the crank...
