My Grandma could do this with a roast.

No, my friend. The idea is to kill the seventh-century savages BEFORE they kill us. Then we're in agreement. I thought you were implying we shouldn't build it because they'd target it. Actually, it might be tasty bait to lure the rodents out!

My Grandma could do this with a roast. What, make it tough and char it to carbon?

"the new fabric effectively exists in just two dimensions"Thin yes, 2 dimensions only....I think not.

Key word is "effectively."
When I first read it, I also scoffed at it being typical 21st century hyperbole... but then, reading on, I realized the statement was meant to describe an actual characteristic of the material. In some ways, it behaves as if there's no third dimension, and thereby reduces losses in that dimension.
