Yeah, who would have thought that there are (dry) locations on Earth that are below sea level? Apparently you can't expect software developers / testers nowaday

  If I'm not assuming people wake up in order to do a bad job, the more likely explanation to me is that a) these instances are (seen as a percentage of dry land coverage) rather rare and b) The test of being in water is simplified to `if height <= 0` instead of `if height <= 0 OR location.inside(some_super_complex_polygon_that_needs_to_be_looked_up_every_millisecond)`. Done is better than perfect.

    When you're flying over dry land, they already have to do a collision test to check if you have flown into terrain - so the solution would be to simply not check if you are above sea level when you are flying over land...

      You're assuming they distinguish land from sea. It's very likely the map has no such information.
