You get it! Mercator is great unless it's shaping one's idea of the world as a whole, which is of course best done with a globe. Cutting a square out of it whose side length is up to cca 10° of longitude will always result in a near-perfect and useful map (unless you are near the pole, then the covered area is just too tiny to be useful).
