Order of magnitude (base 2)?

  Now that is funny, thank you! :-) But seriously, even when I've only thought I was twice as good as someone else (and I'm afraid I have thought that too many times), it usually hasn't ended well.

    I've worked for few different companies where some development groups were producing negative productivity, and others were producing positive productivity. Consider that one "profitable product ruined", and one "unprofitable product made profitable", or equivalent metrics. What's the productivity ratio between -1 and +1? Is the first team "less productive" than the second team? Certainly. Is the second team "twice as productive" as the first team? I think the answer is "infinity", so "over twice" is a good summary for people who intuitively distrust "10x" as a number.
