"This is true for un-welded polygons - not true if they're welded."

Bagginsbill, I tend to disagree. Any object with a displacement map that is incorrectly applied will split along the edges, whether it is welded or not. The attached example picture is a welded box, yet because the displacement has not been corrected by a math node, it still splits.
