No, it means being so lazy as to not look at Kapoho on Google Maps or Earth to see that the "private ponds" are the result of multiple craters that have been eroded by the ocean to create semi-enclosed brackish ponds on the ocean front.
The mainland perception is to keep using mainland definitions of geography and applying them to Hawaii island. Just don't. This island is unique on this planet and its geography is more similar to Pangea than it is to any mainland. Keep the mainland on the mainland.
