Let me draw an analogy that might be helpful. Let's look at manufacturing yield. It's easy to create a process that hits 99.99% yield when the absolute value of complex goods being produced is 10 items. Can you maintain 99.99% yield when producing 100,000,000 of those items? Almost certainly not. Does hitting 80% yield mean you have lowered your standards when every other manufacturer of similar scale can only hit 60%? No it doesn't. It means you have maintained high standards, it's just the context around you has changed and so the measurement of high standards has changed along with it (as it should). That's the core of what I was getting at.
