Were you trying to point out that the shoreline's length varies as the square root of the size of the island?
Doesn't that depend a lot on how convoluted the shoreline is?
Yes, but only if the shape varies too.
I'm not sure immediately what it means for the shape not to vary if you are growing a complexly shaped island on a sphere.
You're right. I was imagining it on a plane.
Edit: Only later did I look at this comment out of context and start daydreaming about making some sort of Snakes on a Plane joke.
