Doesn't make sense to me.
In reality it's more of a swing thought, than a precise description of the geometry of the stroke, especially on longer putts requiring a longer backswing. Probably if someone measured my putting stroke they'd find some arc but thinking straight back & through helps me keep the putter head square to my target through the hitting zone.
