Assuming this is about Harju, it seems the author read "245 million sq m" and assumed the m was miles, not metres. So the already large 24,500 hectare farm became a ludicrous 245 million square mile multi-planetary behemoth. Reading sq m as square miles is a surprisingly common error in the US, but usually gets caught before production or publication because the result is orders of magnitude out. |

But many people are really like this, no notion whatsoever of order of magnitude plausibility. Has to be beaten out of engineering students, but I suppose the majority of the population is untreated.
(LLMs are going to be a lot of fun too)
