What do you mean by four 9s?

When the percentage is referring to people who DON’T understand something, 99% to 99.99% is going down (in number of people who DO understand it). At least, that’s what I think they meant. Example: 6% of urban adults don’t use the internet regularly. When we expand that to urban AND rural adults, that drops down to 10% who don’t use it.
