But, without wishing to sound facetious, how do we then have coastlines for
Eurasia, Greenland & Antarctica mapped?

*Nobody* has "local knowledge" of the full coastline of any of them, & for
Greenland & Antarctica, what is mapped - the ice cap, which is constantly
moving, or the deep underlying rock? Should we erase them off the map as
they're not "verifiable"?
