Shouldn't the inner polygon have rounded corners too?

Thanks

Not necessarily. Here, I made the two paths, an outer rounded pentagon, and the sharp pentagon whose summits are the centers of the circle arcs that round the outer pentagon, so the inside is a sharp pentagon. I could have just as well used an inner pentagon with still rounded angles:

   

Another way to see it is that what changes in these pentagons is both the size and the roundness, because you have to change the "roundness" to keep the center of the circle arcs the same in the inner and outer polygons.

Here is what happens when you keep the roundness constant:

   

As you can see the rounds are thicker (when you look closely, the successive paths aren't exactly parallel in the arcs, because these arcs haven't got a common center).
