explained me that his "soft" foldable matzos were like VERY thin laffa and
once folded would retain their shape. And I asked him about lechem Hapannim

So I must rethink this based upon newly obtained data. Previously I HAD
thought that the matzos were baked in a mold ALREADY firm and folded instead
of pliable and folded later
