You are correct that it is impossible to fly direct to the intersection.
But you can take a heading that will intercept one of the two radials, and
then you fly along that radial to intersection. I realize this can be done
with the left/right technique also, but it requires a lot of mind numbming
visualizations. It is really trivial the other way.

If you have to fly to an intersection with both CDI at full scale
deflection, how would you get there? The left/right method will not
help you here, but it is trivial with the heading technique.

That is correct. If I ever need to do this, I would not use the
left/right technique. I'd do the extra steps needed to figure out
which way I needed to go, and I'd expect that I'd intersect one of the
radials before the other (i.e. I'd not end up flying direct to the
intersection)

I don't think one can guarantee a direct ground track if both CDIs are
at full deflection and you need to head directly towards an
intersection. (at least not without fiddling with the OBS to see
where you really are).

How would you fly directly towards an intersection, with both CDIs
pegged, and no fiddling with the OBS? (fiddle with the OBS and you've
unpegged the CDI and now know what radial you're on)
