GIGO also applies to physics. The GI in this case is "raise the sea level by 
8840m".

If the planet turns into Sea World, "raising sea level by 8840m" is not how it 
will happen. Where would all that water come from? If all the ice in the world 
melts, we are talking 100 or 200 meters at most. So raising the sea level by 
8840m is not going to happen.

Present another model where (almost) all of the earth is covered by water and 
we can talk again.


Cheers, Michiel
