- This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. (At first, I thought the rule of nine referred to the surface area of a mountain stream! I was also amused to see that Wallace's middle name was "Burns").
