Maybe he could test his pool vs. skyscraper theory by swimming from one end to the other, or, Vinca May 26 #14

But unless you're going to start building vertical reflecting pools, why the hell does the height of skyscrapers even matter?

I've seen the thing several times with my own eyes.
It's length was never something that impressed me.
It's a shallow hole in the ground.
Who cares how tall it would be if it could stood up on edge? BTW: it's impossible to turn a hole in the ground going up!
