> ...Slice Intelligence's way too accurate numbers of Apple Watches sold for "estimates", the total revenue for the US is $1,524,049,284.00, which is also way too accurate of "estimates." They could at least have the statistical honesty to round them off. . . and then claim a plus/minue error in their published figures or a degree of confidence,...

Hi Sword! Two things I dare to point out:

I think you meant "way too precise", not "way too accurate". As I'm sure you know, precision is when someone tells you that PI is 3.141592653333333... -- very precise, but inaccurate. "Accurate" would be "355/113 plus about 0.0000003". Or when someone tells you the Federal debt is "$17,236,418,220,871.47", very precise but inaccurate. In fact, the Federal debt is 17 bazillion cubic f**k-tons. That's not very precise, but it's accurate.
Slice Intelligence must be a bunch of freakin' bean counters. Bean counters love to say exactly how many beans they counted. It makes them feel important. They can't "round the count off" to make it more realistic. They don't give a crap about reality. They only want a precise count of the beans, period.

Just sayin'.

You are CORRCT. I was trying to pull up that word and it just wouldn't come. DANG!

It's the pits getting older with a brain full of data and the index is getting too large to find what you want when you want it! Sometimes you just give up on trying to drag the correct word and and go ahead and clic post, after beating on your brow for several minutes trying to beat it out. Thanks.

it get's worse the more I cram in my noggin. . . but I ain't about to stop.
