They are overloading "fewer" to mean division as well as subtraction. According to this logic "twice fewer" means "half as much".

- Dylan16807 2y agoFewer is subtraction, times fewer is division. More is addition, times more is multiplication (or 1 plus multiplication, oops). I don't think anyone says "twice fewer". Or "twice more" when talking about quantities.
