If you think of a link, like one in here, as a kind of image of a page ... when you click the link, you get an enlarged view of that page.
The link has been enlarged to fill the page.
It usually looks quite different, a link does, when you enlarge it that way ... but the effect is strangely equivalent.
Let's say the link occupied one one hundredth of the screen area - it was one tenth of the screen height high and one tenth of the screen width wide. Now it has been enlarged to fill the screen ... so it has been magnified ten times.
Now, in the page that resulted, there are links, each occupying (nominally) one one hundredth of the screen area.
Each is a page. You can see that by clicking one of them: the page will now fill the screen.
So, the first link, that I described above, contains a page, minified ... and that page contains pages, minified within it. When you enlarge one of those pages, to fill the screen, in effect the first page, the one containing the first link, has been enlarged 100 times.
This framework, which is a way of thinking about links, creates an inordinate amount of space!
