Does 3+3=5 for small values of 3?
I’m just trying to understand how this works. I totally do NOT understand the new math, people keep talking about things like “300% reductions”, “5000 times smaller” etc. and I have no idea what they are trying to say. Is it Greek math or Chinese math? In the mid-twentieth century on the planet Earth from whence I came those terms had no meaning.
3+3=5 only for VERY small values of 3.
(The 2+2 version is a computer science joke from eons back)
