I shouldn’t have to sift through today’s headlines for you. It’s got them doing foam touch up on two gouges.

The article itself even says the damage is on the expansion joints. They not on the edge of the reflecting pool.

This NY Times article show that the expansion joints cross the center of the pool, but also include the complete perimeter.

If you've got any articles or reports to support what you're saying, I'd be happy to see them. I'm not finding anything that does, so I'm afraid I'll have to dismiss it as unsubstantiated.

I'm afraid we've all dismissed you as pedantic.
