Hmm.. I don't know that geographic size tells us anything important. Am I missing something here?

I don't even think that was the point. I think the geographic comparison is more a novelty than anything, and I don't even think the author takes a viewpoint in writing his article. I clicked the link because I'm at an Excelerate Labs company now in Chicago, and I'm sure other Chicago Hacker News-ers will click on the link too, but I don't think there was really any point to the article. So un-succinctly put, I don't think you're missing anything.

Guilty -- truly wanted to know how Chicago measured up to SF even if it be geographically.

Yup, a little bit disappointed they didn't go any deeper than a simple geographic comparison w/ a photoshop overlay.
