I don't mean to detract from the point of the article but the phrase "according to Quora" made me wince. Even though it follows a relatively minor detail it still feels weird that people use it as a source of real information.

In this case, "according to Quora" means "according to Jamil Ahmed, whose qualifications are that he's studying medicine and MBBS."

He isn't a hydrologist?

studying != credentialed

I'm definitely aware of that. Nor does studying medicine make you a good source of information for how much a dump truck can carry.

Alas, such is the state of Quora.
