an additional possibility is eastern borders are more wiggly following
terrain as opposed to ruler on a map by the surveyors following in the
wake of Lewis & Clark , and so those borders might render wider at low
zoom, because the points are dense and not aligned?  In the bad old
days, mapping systems had to decimate borders to scale before
rendering, which can alas truncate Cape Cod.
