True. It is nice that the smallest parts don't have to all appear as similarly tiny slivers.
Comparing areas, though, is not a strength of human perception. It would be interesting to test a population of users, given a Voronoi diagram, to estimate the apparent percentage of each area.
And it is instructive that in the paper they still resort to a second, zoomed-in view that breaks down the smallest subsets. You'd want to do the same no matter the representation.
