A VE of 100% will be the equivalent of 3 litres of air at atmospheric temp and pressure sucked into the motor every 2 revolutions. This does not take into account of the combustion chamber volume. Therefore 100% VE CAN be exceeded, that's because it's not a 1 gallon jug, it's got a domed lid on top.
Anyway there's heaps of mistakes in that article but you'll have to read it to figure them out.
That's what happens when you rely on computers and cut & paste.
