15 days. Great. What's the circumference? Oh, they didn't give that either. "15 days" is still not a rotational velocity, it's linear.

I'm not giving these folks grief for doing near impossible measurements, I'm giving the article grief for claiming a measurement was made, and then not stating said measurement.
