Comment (by pramsey):

 Your line isn't straight like in your picture, it's actually straight in a
 different way, as a great circle arc (which, in your picture would be a
 northerly curve). Think about how an airplane would get between the ends
 of your line. Reasoning about geography on flat maps leads to mistakes
 like this.
