I don't know how our National Office would react if that were pointed out by a non-member, I'm on the National History committee, so they've learned to expect weird phone calls from me.
Okay, so corrections would be on a historical or factual (which could be deemed historical) basis, assuming that you would have something to prove how the borders are incorrect.

That's fair enough. I agree about the non-members part and that's one reason why I find reading the pledge manuals of other organizations to be strange.
