Math doesn't lie. Tell me where I fucked up. If you can't, then I can't see how it's wrong. Unless you can point to a specific point of failure, then yes, it is approximately correct. That's how these things work. Point me to a calculation which disagrees. Correct my math, and I'll be happy to be proven wrong. But don't tell me it isn't true just by an argument from incredulity. Given the world map we have, and given Roman's map, this calculation is simply describing an emergent property of the world, with the aid of a few simplifying assumption. If you want to contest the accuracy of the map, that's a different story. But assuming I did it right (and I have yet to be challenged on it), then the math is true.
