No, EH...more a casual observation of a reality.
Most open-minded individuals would not presume their perception of the world, such as where the greatest coastlines are, etc would qualify them to host an opinion.....not without personal observation/experience.
Eg....I have never been to the US and am limited to the wealth of Hollywood's interpretation, etc to form an opinion and know full well it would be both inaccurate and slanted/biased.
I have seen coastlines in Australia, UK and the Mediterranean and each have significant and impressive 'coastlines' which I am sure would be equitable with those of the US.
I'm certain my friend who is the Lighting Director on the US Survivor series could shed more light on comparisons through personal observation as he's currently working on Number 8 [his 7th], and has one or three frequent flier miles, being involved with location-scouting...
I tend to defer to those with real-world experience than the sedentary opinion holders...
