    80 percent-scale mock White House

    I’m confused about this part. Does that mean it’s in basic outline correctly-sized but only has 80% as many rooms…

    …or that the layout is exactly the same as the original, but everything is 20% smaller? Because then you’ve got issues with all the agents feeling like they’re seven feet tall.

      While I do admit that the latter option is much funnier, it’s probably the former. That or they built all the above-ground rooms perfectly to scale, but didn’t know the exact layout of the service/security tunnels? Idk, but that is definitely an odd choice of wording
