This is a map enthusiast community, not a lying with statistics and graphic design community.

Then go yell at OP about posting a non-map.

There's no lie here, nobody thought lakes are actually finger-shaped in cross-section.

Strawman arguments aside, it seems you've already forgotten how this comment chain started. Just let it go.

You're the one being randomly aggressive in an otherwise-friendly conversation.

I had forgotten the cross-sections were already mentioned, that's true. I mentally boiled down what you wrote to "not to scale means inconsistent scale". My point was that if there isn't any inconsistency in vertical scale - which is what I suspect - there's no "lie".
