The Chinese got a record at 1066. The French beat that with 1337. Okay, that's great.
But nowhere does the article say WHY THEY STOPPED THERE. If it was working, why not continue on for an even higher record? Huh?
I suspect the answer is something akin to, "Something broke" or "Something overheated" or "We ran out of XYZ component" or "We blew a breaker". I doubt it was "We just felt that was enough" or "Mom called and said to stop making so much noise".
So WHY DID THEY STOP?
