Agreed.

I gotta disagree with this - Yes, if you were painting a globe on a spherical
ball, then I would agree. But you're using Lego and imposing a rectilinear
pattern onto a spherical object. So, you're going to have 4 flat "faces" made
up of plate/brick sides, and a "top" and a "bottom" (relative to studs),
basically the faces of the rectangular solids the globe is made from. So the
similarity of any two globes will depend on where, geographically, you decide to
put these brick/plate faces. And in these regards the two globes are remarkably
similar. The faces of the rectangles seem to be put in exactly the same
locations. There are some minor differences in coloration (one has Lake
Victoria in blue, Straits of Gibraltar are two differences I noted off the bat),
but the overall geography-to-brickography relationship is there.

Can't agree more with these two statements.
