Yes or not. If you want to achieve a lens effect, this tutorial is fine (thanks ;). If you wan to put something on the "sphere" surface, then parallel lines are needed, and are esasy to do with the new path effects in version 0.47. Just put two paths on both sides of the circle, combine them, apply the stitch sub-path effect, and adjust de curvature.

There is a mistake in the tutorial.
Parallels work different from meridians; They never cross each other, they are parallel to each other.

These imaginary lines are actually called Meridians and Parallels.

Meridians are expressed in degrees of longitude, or how far a place is away from the prime meridian. The prime meridian runs through Greenwich, England.

Imaginary lines that run east and west on a map. Parallels represent degrees of latitude, or how far a place is away from the equator. The equator's latitude is 0° and the poles are 90° south and north. One degree of latitude equals about 69 miles.

Longitude together with latitude forms a grid on which it is possible to locate almost any place on the earth.
