If you're quoting numbers in percentage terms, and that term is more than 100%, there's proabably a better way to express it, in this case, "100 times" (or 100X if you prefer).
- wruza 9y agoI suspect that was said for those who wouldn't recognize the sound of “two orders of magnitude” even “if you hit them over the head with it”.
- scoot 9y agoYes, and if you don't understand two orders of magnitude, "10,000%" is going to be equally confusing, if not potentially misleading. "100 times" is clear and unambiguous (even if the claim itself is unsubstatiated).
