Extract Featureline from Corridor: SMOOTHING -- What do those options do?

I was looking through the docs and all it says is that this eliminates tessellation.  I understand that and that's what I'm looking to do.  But the docs don't give any guidance on what these numbers are for. 

 

I'm talking about the three options under the "Smoothing" group - "Horiz Deviation", "Weeding" & "Arc Inclusion" (I'm looking at the 2010 docs as that's all I could find at the moment).

Ok. I'm at the office now and I've looked in the 2012 userguide.  It does provide a little more info but not much.

 


Horizontal Deviation

Specifies the maximum 2D distance within which the non-colinear points must be located from the resulting smooth curve. If set to 0, the curve will interpolate all points.

Weeding Distance

Specifies the minimum distance between co-linear points in the resulting smooth curve. The intermediate co-linear points are weeded.

Arc Inclusion Distance

Specifies the maximum distance within which the non-collinear points must be located to be converted into arcs.


But I've tried to apply this tool (using various combinations of settings for these three) to my corridor and I haven't seen it have any effect on the featureline that I extracted.
