At 5k acres, the building cost difference is 16500 and 17290. At no point in my vocabulary is a difference of 4.7% "almost exactly equal". If it was within 1% difference, then maybe, I'll give you that.
Furthermore, the point where the 2 formulas are equal is at 4541a, 5000a is off by more than 10%. On top of that, qz's claim that they are "approximately equal" at 7k acres is even further off than at 5k acres, the building costs are 19.4% larger than the old formula by then.
