    Oh right, and a random Lemmy just suddenly knows an answer to a decades old problem, just by reading Wikipedia.

      Not sure who pissed in your cereal, but I linked a source when I posted, which included interviews with two people involved with the problem in the 90s.

        Your source says “I speculate”, you say “very likely”. Between those two definitions are worlds.

        Please don’t fool others.

          Ignoring the fact that you’ve moved the goalposts:

          • A local PhD petroleum engineering lecturer who was involved with the issue directly has a working theory.
          • A Texas PhD chemical and petroleum engineering agrees it’s likely.
          • It’s further supported by the fact that resurfacing work removed the issue.

          Cherry-picking the words “I speculate” out of the entire article to suggest they’re unfamiliar with the phenomenon and just pontificating is deliberately misleading and I suggest you take your own advice.
