Yeah they are pretty loose w/ Castle.
It is a case of "mi casa" not always "tu casa" [1].
replyYeah, actually a very cool idea. Hopefully somebody takes it and makes a greatly improved version, as execution is lacking here!
replyI would take it as just rounding 2,435 -> 2,400. No big deal.
replyThe point is not the rounding, it is that it is not counting a total number of castles, but rather some subset of 'significant' castles
replyIt also lists some "castles" that no longer exist, e.g., Fort Detroit, which was where downtown is and very much not extant (and not to be confused with Fort Wayne to the southwest of downtown, which does exist but isn't on the map). This is just some AI slop wasting our time.
replyThey are including wooden palisaded forts, of there are many more in the US and Canada than shown.
replynot really castles - it includes palaces for examples and chateaus.
replyI find the word "castle" can be a little vague, like with Neuschwanstein Castle, which is really more of a palace. I don't think it's worth battling too much about what is or isn't a castle. I don't think you could come up with one set of castles in the world that satisfies everybody.
