You're right, of course, but I still found it fascinating and inspiring to get some idea of what Venus would look like with seas (and a reasonable temperature to make that possible, no doubt). For me it doesn't need to be correct in every detail. Just like reading a novel, my willing suspension of disbelief can handle this level of "fantasy"/speculation. It's a beautiful image of Venus-in-a-next-door-cosmos anyway.
