No, I was being a bit facetious. My counterpoint was simply that as you just stated it's clearly excessive and that you know it is a lot even without additional context and so by extension it's not accurate to say that the number is "meaningless".

Ah, I understand what you're saying. You are right - meaningless is too strong of a statement.

If I could edit my comment, I might say something more accurate, like "trying to evaluate this number without more context is not useful."
