Well, I would say the test results were conclusive, if nothing else.

Wading is specifically for shallow water. I think it's aptly named.

    Rules out lakes.

    That depends on how deep you go. You can definitely wade in a lake as long as you turn back soon enough. Apparently, the one in the OP never got deep enough to exceed the rating.

    This one definitely exceeded the rating. Its slanted on one side pretty deep. Earlier in the video it was okay and not exceeding it.

    Interestingly, it appears to drift in the videos - unclear if while it is powered on if it exceeds the depth rating. I lean towards no? I can't find any extended section of the video where it is either foundering or floating while in motion.

    It 100% exceeds the depth rating later (like in your screencap), but it's floating or sliding into deeper water after being bricked.
