They Might As Well Have Spelled It as ... Detali

If Ed saw the image below in the New York Times, and the detail section was spelled (or spelt) DETALI, it would catch his eye like a searchlight.
.
And yet for me, the spelling is superfluous (as most readers can attest).  However the lower map, with the section marked detail burns into my mind.  I can't ignore it!
.

You see the section marked "detail" is NOT the detail.  Well, some of it is, but the box is larger than it should.
.
The actual detailed map is taller than wide, the opposite of the proposed "detail".  And the proposed detail has more of the Sea of Japan and nation of Japan than is in the actual detail.
.
Come on, how hard it is to fix the little friggin' box!
