Who estimated the depth as 400 ft?

Do remember, of course, that these figures are only the "plumb-able" depths. The plumbing systems per se are estimated (in the Firehole Basins, anyhow) to extend to a depth of around 400 feet. Which is rather longer, and more voluminous, and better insulated than your 12 feet.
