Yes, but they are even clunkier

Typically you would find those values travel around in groups, which makes
it natural to put them together in a struct.

Or alternatively, they could be 60 separate data channels collecting
similar kinds of information, which points to the use of an array.

The idea of 60 independent values of 60 different types coming together
from 60 separate random origins just strikes me as ... unlikely.
