Does the Robinson projection show the size if the continents accurately but the water areas are expanded to fill the extra space?
most, if not all, of the map projections that are created have some sort of distortion. ( because the map projections were made to resemble Earth on paper. ) So even if it seems like there is no distortion, or at least any easy to find distortion, there is distortion and warping of continents although they can be very close to somewhat accurate. ( Globes have been proven to be the best resource to look at continents, countries, physical features, etc. ) Also, we must realize that maps are scaled down versions of Earth so you can't fit Australia in the palm of your hand. But I personally would say that the Robinson projeciton map is a good projection.
