It seems like that would be wrong when moving at an uneven speed, if I
go by the spec. Of course, that might be consistent with a real
compass.

The sample does use accelerometer.

But the person doing that sample didn't actually compile it or run it
before posting. Assigning to final variables would not have passed the
compiler.
