    i think they attempted to flatten the complex subject, and even specifically mention that watts isnt exactly correct, but close enough.

    if all you need to do is add -hours to the end of watt for the whole thing to be even an approximation, i think the article is fine and all the scientists here are acting pendants.

    this is an entertainment piece. not building a bridge here…
