"Proportions matter"
Not always. We were taught if someone steal $1 or $10000 they will be called thief.
In Sushi may be proportions mattered. But there are cases it doesn't matter. Like drinking 10ml or 1 litre both can kill you. And you cannot go to doctor and said 10 liter is very small quantity ignore it.
And in this case "Crude Oil Flow from Saudi Arabia to U.S. Falls to Zero " Saying Zero might be misleading to many people. It may not to many people.
- beerandt 6y agoI get your point, and am generally of the mindset that technically correct is the best kind of correct. But masscomm isn't technical writing. To the people who already don't understand, it's more misleading to pretend the amount is meaningfully more than zero, than to call a negligible amount "zero."
