They calculated it, and could only say "less than 25% of C" which isn't even a rotational speed measurement?!? Get bent. If you don't want to say, fine, don't. But don't tell me you've calculated something and then A) not give me that number, and B) give me a number that isn't the number you calculated and can't be used to determine the number you calculated without additional data that you also haven't provided.

What's wrong with it rotating one quarter the speed of light?

Think about how fast a point on the equator of the Earth moves relative to a point a few cm away from the North Pole.

In one full rotation of the Earth, the point on the equator will have traveled 40,000 km, and the point by the North Pole will have traveled a meter.

So... it's that it's a useless way to express rotation.
