No, you should re-read my comment, since my "incorrect" statement says exactly the same thing that you said. Or do you feel that there is a substantive difference between what I said ("strike down 1 in 10" and "reduces it by 10%") and what you said ("one soldier on [sic] ten was killed").

My guess is that you misread my statement and thought I said that it reduces the signal to 10%. But I didn't say that, and in fact I gave the correct explanation in two ways to make sure I would be interpreted clearly.

I have indeed misread your comment. Sorry.
No worries. Sorry I responded so adamantly.
