Your Lyin Eyes

Here's an interesting exercise. Pull up the topo map in the usual way. Now, unclick the 'All Affected Counties' button. Then, click the <5 button. Internalize the dispersion. Next, click on the 5 to 9 button, and toggle it a few times. Note how the counties abut, nearly jigsaw puzzle-ish. Continue the exercise using the same method with 5 to 9 and 10 to 24, and on up to >=1,000.

If that doesn't convince you that the Phat Lady ain't sang yet, nothing will. And, oh by the way, the >=1,000 group count continues to climb.
