I enjoy a good sinophobic innuendo as much as the next guy, but how is it any easier to omit something from a hand-drawn map than to blur it out in a satellite

  I have no opinion on what is true in this context, but completely in the abstract: when drawing things it's possible to put in fake data (residential area or forest where a military facility or nuclear reactor is located) without it being possible to be detected. The blurring at least shows that something is there.

    Heh... It's possible to fool aerial viewers as well: http://thinkorthwim.com/2007/08/19/1034/ http://thinkorthwim.com/2007/08/19/1034/

      That is wicked cool, thanks for the link. It must be awesome to be assigned a job like this, or being part of the crew implementing it.
