Spheres optimize volume to surface ratio. Spheres also have a shape defined by the square distance from the origin (along the space's basis). If sphere volume ~ prediction error, minimizing square distance is akin to reducing sphere radius. Therefore, using square error sort of optimally improves accuracy.
