That's not "just keeping the numbers round", that's putting a huge assumption on a complex system (births = deaths, no change in overall population over time).
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoThe 9 billion was just to keep the numbers round. 8 billion would be a more accurate number, but it's not divisible by 3, and therefore not divisible by 150. What you seem to be quibbling with is the assumption that the population was steady. That's an assumption that could be argued with, but it's not the "keeping the numbers round" part.
