::*The particular volume of water is of course the point, and none but a relatively small segment of the population would be familiar with it from that level of sports training. Chemistry classes don't require verbatim recitation of pages from memory. The argument that if something isn't well-known it's evidence that it isn't worth including... well, much of Wikipedia is made up corrected misconceptions and little-known facts that other more official information sources neglect, which I think is one of its strengths. The "non-vet" perspective is probably more important here to an article on Basic Training, wouldn't you say? It's the non-vets who are going to want information about Basic. The fact that a vet thinks these things aren't important comes no particular surprise, but we're writing this for those who haven't had the firsthand experience, not those who have, and the inexperienced will not know about these aspects unless we mention them. There's no reason to think they would. ''' '''
