That's what happens when you define a very complex, and at times nebulous, concept like a "metropolitan area" by a single metric (commuter %) applied to one of the clumsiest geographical units available (counties).
It's how you end up with complete silliness like Kenosha county getting kicked out of the Chicago MSA while Jasper, Newtown, Grundy, and Dekalb counties remain.
