You are both correct gentlemen, that was one of the reasons I posted originally asking for comments, 'cos it's rubbish!
Whether the fault is due to bad reporting or Mr Matai I know not.
Take the comment about the water boiling at 150 degress C. Rubbish!
H2O boils at 100 degrees C at one atmosphere of pressure, sea water at about 104 degrees, depending on salinity. Boiling point rises at approx half a degree C per foot of water depth, thus at 5000 ft the pressure would be approx 2500 lb/sq inch. This would raise the boiling point to something like 500 degrees C!

and this are only some of the BS posted by the HP. If this is not what Mr Matai said I would suggest that he asks for a series of corrections. If it is what he said I'd like to meet him!
But it keeps the conspiracy theorists happy I imagine.
