Size only really matters if you’re using the map for overland navigation. (And it’s quite telling that the project is just injecting their own bias instead of actually pushing for accurate representation.)

The slider is very revealing. Hard to believe that were still using Mercator projection when its so incredibly deceiving even if you actually know the real sizes.

Mercator is awesome with compass directions. That's why it's the oldest and most popular out of the popular ones today.
