Or the capacity to describe a polygon...
I call the 80/20 rule into effect here.
Fine, I'm confident that more than 80% of countries, counties,
towns,
cities, gardens, parks, nature reserves, and industrial estates are
polygons, and fewer than 20% are circles.
You could outline any territory as a series of geos if the need ever
arose.
In other words, "the capacity to describe a polygon".
Totally ignored the point I was trying to make... and that is that
describing a border - of any shape - by the use of a collection of
geo coords (at whatever precision) is a totally different task then
defining an individual point and its precision.
