I was delighted when I first saw the drift radii neatly laid out. The info had been brought up starting 7 days before.

Then, after no less than 2½ years, the drift radius column was removed (seemingly by accident), restored, and obliterated (explicitely on purpose) again; allegedly, the figures were invalid inasmuch as they weren't verifiable. (The "radius has no measurement unit" part of the argument, BTW. is probably not even worth bothering with…)

But then, how can we be sure that Iceland is 7.28 km long? Regardless, was it measured along the scenic route or one of several cave paths? And what method was used to get at the 1140 value —neither 1139 nor 1142— for the hidden MAX rank of the Atom?

No method disclosed whatsoever. I can only surmise that those data either were all wild guesses or were gotten by peeking at the game's encrypted local database (i.e. voyeuristically hacking). But, in the 3 cases above, the figures are at least roughly proportional to, or consistent with, what we experience when playing.

And they are useful as such.
