> It’s not really a problem, you just adjust the size of your assumed storm. Adjusting how you call the storm doesn't make the wall bigger: that's the problem. (It also makes their statement untrue in the present day, regardless of if it was true when the wall was designed.) |

It's the engineer defining his design criteria (the 'design-storm'), based-on and benchmarked-to local historical data, including recurrent intervals.
The wall doesn't need to be bigger if next years data changes. It was designed for a (this year) 100yr- or 500yr-storm, not a guess of hypothetical future one.
