5x expanded by Epicgenius ( talk). Self-nominated at 14:24, 23 August 2021 (UTC).
The (well-sourced) statement that, at 50 feet wide, CHT was "among the world's most slender buildings at its completion" is blatantly false, as a moment's thought regarding small buildings should make quite obvious (have you ever seen a cottage? a shed?). It's like claiming that someone who's 7 foot 3 is "among the world's tallest organisms".
We could remove it entirely. We could say "Architectural historian Michael J. Crosbie has called it one of the world's most slender buildings". We could say it's one of the world's most slender skyscrapers.
