grant
you are just lucky your survey is of the world class level only
where you can get away with this reductio because all 4 of the
international border crosses apparent chance to really be
singularities
so it is a relatively simple matter for you to skirt each of the
problem points in this way
even as you create that new accounting problem you mentioned

but if you were rationalizing some place like palm springs or the
salton sea rezzies in this way
where the apparent border cross singluarities actually come by the
dozens & scores in continuous grids
you would quickly get stuck retracing your own route
& couldnt even complete your tour & accounting

so i have to wonder
do even gridworks of apparent border crosses also somehow not really
cross as you say
