That's less than one order of magnitude (10x), but of course the point stands.

- mncharity 9y agoAnother definition of 1 oom is anything between sqrt(10) and sqrt(10)*10. Basically 3 to 30. 2 oom, 30 to 300, and so on. So if the (now edited) original intent was exponential, "more like 10x than 1x (or 100x)", then calling 5x an oom is fine. If the intent was linear, then yes, rounding 5x to 10x is 100 percent error (difference/actual). :)
- marvin 9y agoHuh, interesting. Wasn't aware of that :)
