Maybe that's just me, but I find it harder to think in percentages above 200%. I mean, the math is easy, but it is less intuitive. I feel that: "20 to 64 times of what industry has reported" would be easier to grasp and probably also less ambiguous.
- actionfromafar 3y agoWith a pure mathematical understanding yes, but per cent communicates the obscenity better, in this case. "So, I was 20% over the speed limit, and I got a huge fine." "Oil producers were 6000% over the pollution limit and they got a huge profit."
- Ekaros 3y agoSpeed limit is kinda good counter example. Like getting fine for going 12 in 10 km/h zone sound completely wrong... But going 144 in 120 motorway, yeah anyone complaining is stupid...
