It is just an illusion because the tiles do not extend under the plate. 
The tile surface is bevelled against them. As for the alignment, two 
things come to mind: (1) laziness (mine); (2) the 'builders' did not 
care. ;-)

In RL (2) is present everywhere around us. In fact, one can hardly adapt 
the size of a building to the size of the tiles ;-) [only we can do that 
in csg of course]. So, my philosophy is that I do not care and like to 
leave those imperfections which are more life-like as it where than a 
perfect geometric pattern.
