What is the significance of the patterns of multi-sample locations in figure 1 & 2? Would random multi-sample locations work?

If in step 2 you're already determining samples within the triangle, why wouldn't you compute the shading results for the multi-sample color then rather than accessing the data for say the bottom left yellow corner in step 4?

I think the idea is that the larger number of samples gives us a better idea of the proportion of the colors or shading results we should use, so that the final image pixels will themselves finally be combined together to the blended color.

I think it makes more sense to use the sample color that is actually within the triangle.
