Lol

I just read another comment here pointing out that square is a polygon, which requires having only straight lines.

I think this would be a stronger argument.

I'm not aware of any shape that is defined by the angles of its outsides.

I think what the previous poster is saying is that the image does not have four 90° angles, but instead it has two 90° and two 270° angles.

...I have no idea if that's an actual deal breaker, but the logic is sound.

I suspect these lines are straight on a sphere. What we're seeing is a square on a projected sphere.
