Then you said it wrong.

What you said was 'only countries' not 'only countries that weren't obvious to me'.

"Today I, the author of this post, Learned" seems implicit to me, but I suppose we all make our own definitions of the acronym

That is a separate thing from what you literally wrote:

TIL that Chile, Argentina, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Taiwan, and the Phillipines *are the only countries that you can tunnel through to hit another land mass. All others lead to water.

No, some of the ones you weren't surprised by also lead to water. That isn't conditional based on you learning something today.
