It’s rounded down from 14,700. And that was in 2007. A more accurate figure would be 15,000.
If you have a problem with a fact from a scientific publication, then publish a counter argument in the same journal. It shouldn’t be that hard to disprove if you’re as right as you think you are.
Until then, it’s the best evidence we have. Far better than whether you think it smells good.
ok, so it is 14700, that is still a very nice number
why not 14689? why so rounded?
Can you give me the pub ref on that quote?, I have a friend on the phone that has them all and is going to verify the number for me.
