Harissa (Armenian Wheat and Chicken Porridge) recipe goof for pressure cookers?

This one.

There are separate stovetop and pressure cooker instructions, with the latter using half as much water, though both use 4 cups stock.

However, there are some issues in the comments. One comment asked "Is anyone able to clarify that for the pressure cooker, it's 4 cups of broth PLUS another cup of water? I interpreted the instructions this way and after 40 minutes high pressure and 15mins depressurization there was far too much water, trying to 'mash' with a potato masher was impossible because it was like a big pot of watery soup..."

I'm guessing there's a goof in the recipe, because Instant Pot's recipe for farro calls for 2 cups of water for 1.5 cups of farro, so 5 cups (1 c water, 4 c stock) would seem to be way too much--though that's for cooked farro, not a porridge, so 4 c stock alone could be enough.

Any thoughts?

A German tourist in NYC filed three lawsuits because a taco was too spicy, a Walmart store had discriminated against him, and that a mild interaction with the police had given him insomnia.

A (paywalled) NY Times article elaborated on the police interaction: "Hours after the Wi-Fi imbroglio, Mr. Manz found himself in further distress. At 8 p.m., he later said, he saw two men assaulting a homeless person near Times Square. Mr. Manz called 911 and described his location, he said, but the dispatcher required a street address, which Mr. Manz had trouble finding. Police officers eventually arrived, Mr. Manz said, but they refused to take his statement or investigate because the assailants had fled.

The officers’ disregard gave him 'insomnia and intrusive flashbacks,' Mr. Manz would write, and his doctor 'diagnosed him with psychosomatic and post-traumatic symptoms.'"
