I don't think he misunderstood your question. The stats are not about judgement of the students. They're about the teaching ability and the connectivity of the material to be taught. Designing the courses, deciding on what materials goes into each course. There is always change.

If successive courses don't align well then students are going to be dropping out due to the knowledge gaps they aren't even being taught. So, using stats to monitor effectiveness is valid.

In reality it isn't for grid power. We're talking something much smaller than SMRs even. And SMRs will never be economical.

You've got a big error in the translation from square feet to square miles. You need to square the 5280 first, before doing the divide. Resulting in 3.75 sq.miles.

Even if it was 19,800 sq.miles, the panels are not flat on the ground. They are raised and angled, allowing light to reach the ground. Grass still grows. Evaporation is reduced, which is often beneficial to grass. Animals can still graze amongst the panels.
