It’s a joke, but when exposing a number the number of left digits transmit the confidence you have in your number. 0.1 tells you that the “real” number is 0.1a, where 0 <= a < 5. 0.10000000000 is giving you a lot more information than 0.1
Thanks, it makes more sense now.
What? Its the same as .1%, or. 01? .00000000001 would be what you’d want no?
It was a joke, I think
Yeah it was a joke.
I doubt it, looks like a mistake. It’s ok to make mistakes, even when they are funny

Very neat! Thank you for that little tidbit.
