They did fold it in half, and they didn't use the forklift until fold #9, just people. They got to 11. Besides, there are no "rules", other than "dry piece of paper" and "in half". No direction of folds, no size of paper, no rules on what you can use to fold it. I've never heard the "square" bit before, personally, but it's been around so long who knows what's accrued.
