After doing deeper research, we were unable to find the original source of this fact, although it's mentioned multiple times by a range of media outlets. SO, even we mix things up sometimes, and this is a great moment to show how facts change with time and that proper fact-checking is so important. Moving forward, we won't be using this information.
