Please. I have gone to Italy and seen far vaster landscapes in the mountainous areas than I've ever been cognizant of in the United States. And yes, I saw these locations from the window of a bus taking the highway system. The key thing is, people are not going to those far-out locations frequently. Actual transit problem-solving relates to the broad majority of the use cases people have, not about abstractly going to a pin thrown on a map.

NJB summarizes why this argument is dumb better than I do.
