This is a map enthusiast community, not a lying with statistics and graphic design community.
Then go yell at OP about posting a non-map.
There's no lie here, nobody thought lakes are actually finger-shaped in cross-section.
Strawman arguments aside, it seems you've already forgotten how this comment chain started. Just let it go.
You're the one being randomly aggressive in an otherwise-friendly conversation.
I had forgotten the cross-sections were already mentioned, that's true. I mentally boiled down what you wrote to "not to scale means inconsistent scale". My point was that if there isn't any inconsistency in vertical scale - which is what I suspect - there's no "lie".
