    Relative magnitude, really? You’re undermining your own point by not using a representative example and then calling your example a relative magnitude to the others.

    210 billion to 250 billion = ~19% increase

    75,000 to a million = ~12,000% increase

    Nanometer to micrometer = ~99,000% increase

    Nanometer to 5 millimeters = ~499,999,900% increase

      Notice how all of those numbers are substantially larger or smaller, by many orders of magnitude, than a couple of hundred.

      Are you intentionally trying to avoid understanding what I’m writing?

        210 billion is not substantially smaller than 250 billion. Are you intentionally trying to miss the point?
