  Kind of a garbage article because coincidence or not they are similar widths.

    It being a coincidence versus causal is entirely what makes it interesting or not

  Snopes is not a good reference to cite, they have changed many artlcles based on research they missed. They tend to just want to get a page up when a topic is popular, then research it later.

      Yes, but surely you would do that first?

        That's assuming that new facts never come to light over time.
