That is one of many issues with that page - I posted it here more as a laugh to those that know more than this page - not as a real page of information.
Which is why I said it "hertz my brain" and why I posted tongue in cheek that there were "a lot of new facts from this I have never seen in any other location before" ;-) Considering this is a vendor's page, i certainly would not want to order anything from this vendor if this is their level of understanding of what they are producing/selling.
