I still have no idea why the mesh lines looked fine in Acrobat, but were way oversize [i.e., thick] when the graphic was opened in Illustrator. Would like to know this, for general education, but since the problem is fixable by changing the stroke of these lines in Illustrator, I've stopping fretting about it otherwise.
