I know, right? I bloody love this site and its weirdos
(I realise you may not find such weirdness endearing as I do. This comment is partly a self directed joke because whilst I don't have Opinions on soil like the person you replied to, I live for that niche nerd internet shit (which is one of the things that makes me weird too)
I know a guy that dug a 28 foot hole. The feds got involved but couldn't find anything actually to charge him for since it was only 28ft deep. That hole is still there.
Engineers also discovered, as they plowed past the first 14,800 feet (4,511 meters), that the rock had much more porosity and permeability. That, paired with the extremely high temperatures, made the rock behave more like a plastic than a solid, rendering drilling virtually impossible.
