I explained what I meant, since it looked like my question was misinterpreted, supplying the link to the original article, quoting "0.2% mapping ditortion" -- by far better than anything else mentioned there. For those too lazy to read the article, I showed a couple of funny little formulae showing *exactly* what I meant.

how either post (read: trolling) is relevant to the original question.
