Not claiming to be exceptional, just noting that a perspective I developed seems less common than I expected...
I think I've just had a cognitive bias of my own revealed, and found a source of confusion in conversation... I guess I've been sucking up any and all science that interests me since I could read, I have no trouble perceiving scale differences... Planck's constant, universe-scale light-year measurements, Ackermann function values, they are all on a very long and flexible scale of powers of ten, and that whole scale is mostly intuitive. I sometimes even convert everyday numbers into E notation so I know I'm scaling things right.
