that’s a pretty good point, it’s literally trapped between being a liquid and a gas. If this was BattleBots, they’d let it compete once and then ban it.
“Trapped between liquid and gas” is kind of the opposite of what a supercritical fluid is. It’s more that gas and liquid states are “trapped” in a region of phase space, while supercritical fluids exist in the place where the demarcation between the two no longer exists (which is usually a far larger region than where it does).
Aha! But languical constructs allow and do allow hyperboles! So it could be argued that the colleague asked for the minimum allowed by our bindings law!

supercritical helium does some really weird shit, I’d call this one plausible.

I think they meant to say superfluid helium.
Superfluid. It can be supercritical, but superfluid is the special thing for helium.
You do some pretty weird shit.
Oh, snaaaaaap.
I’m no geologist, but I could have guessed that without any further specifics 😉
Unless its a hydrocarbon product, which can (and does) spread over surfaces it can’t mix with/soak into in single molecules thick sheets.

I request a motion to dismiss your dismissal :>
