6.07 would be 90 times stronger than this 5.8 — each point is 10 times stronger than the 1/10 of a point below.

5.0 will wake up the dog. 6.0 the dog will come out of the doghouse and sniff around for a couple minutes. 7.0 the dog will give you white-eye.

Wrong, each whole number (one point) is ten times stronger than the previous. A 5.0 in ten times stronger than a 4.0

6.7 (not 6.07) would be about 90x stronger.
