117. 472% of grade school students are unable to readily convert between fractions and percentages. 38.157% of informally provided statistics are made up on the spot under the assumption nobody will actually check.

This is a bit of a stretch, but the end results from either manipulation technique would be comparable if they were meant to skew the truth the same way. However, that sounds stupid as shit when I read it back, but I'm not entirely sur

Nukes can be applied to all kinds of shit. It's easy enough to understand the implication of the phrase that there's no need to pretend it can only apply to specific items.

This whole thing with the heat initiative is straight up bizarre. Their entire dialog is just so over the top. I'll briefly summarize the back and forth heat had with apple, condensing it makes the weirdness really shine through: Heat
