Doesn't Add Up. Why wouldn't a vector layer look crisp at any zoom level?

In principle and theory, when I'm drawing on a vector layer and enlarge the layer view to beyond 100% zoom, why would the brush lines look fuzzy? I thought the benefit of true vectors is that they can be zoomed at any percentage and still maintain a crisp line quality. This makes no sense that the lines would look jagged and pixelated at 400%. What am I missing here?
It should not matter what size the canvas is set to if it is a true vector.

Just as added info I always work at minimum of 350dpi anyway.

    Your vector lines look blurry when you draw with anti-aliasing turned on.
    If you select a vector line with the Object tool and turn off anti-aliasing, you can see it clearly.
    Some users dislike the fact that jaggies are conspicuous if they are clear, but the internal processing of the lines themselves is the same, and I think it is a choice of display method.

    In the case of vectors, you know that if you print at a higher resolution, jaggies will not be noticeable even when antialiasing is turned off.

    Thank you. I thought that I was losing my mind. I understand what you are saying now. That info will help me should I need to zoom in on a particular section to work in the future.
