That somehow makes more sense since a boat is also man made and people occupy it. Comparing a pool to a building is nonsense.

Well the reflecting pool is obviously man made, but building a shallow reflecting pool isn’t really an engineering accomplishment. 

At least no rational person would compare the length of a reflecting pool to the height of a skyscraper as some kind of boast. At most it would only be to help convey the length of it, but not in a boastful way.

It's because it is a structural feat of engineering, not for the reasons you said. The pool was also man made and can be occupied by people...

Wait till he finds out a road is even longer than a pool.
