The lecture deliberately uses official published figures for draft and other specifications, even when better-informed people may know different numbers. Every public figure need not be exact to provide a safe common baseline for discussing a serving nuclear carrier. Soliciting or repeating protected details could bring scrutiny onto people who had nothing to do with their disclosure. For learners, this is a practical source-criticism rule: treat open specifications as declared evidence with known limits, without turning the discussion into a contest over insider access.
