I thought the same thing. Half the answers were about calculating the perfect mathematical shape completely unaswering anything about the origin of the phenomenon. The shape wasn't even in the original question at all but only included as an example (how would he even measure it?)

I don't think it's unique to "this particular set of people" - I see this over and over again with people from all walks of life.
