As noted in the article the actual legroom you get has a lot to do with the model that you’re flying. It’s possible that your delta aircraft was slightly larger and you didn’t notice. To us layfolk a plane is a plane, is a plane.

Having some room for your leg to freely move could very easily be the difference between serious bruising and a fractured femur in a crash. A person with a fractured femur is going to impede the evacuation of many people.

I would expect:

Nah man, The Third Reich didn’t do to well.

And you’ve started a pun war, why would voodoo such a thing?
