I am truly fascinated by your comment. I have to ask, what was the mental process that brought you to write it?

I am specifically wondering why a person would write such a pedantic (in my opinion, no offense whatsoever) comment, stated with absolute seriousness.

Is this just an instance of “someone is factually wrong on the Internet and I _have_ to correct them”, or were you really thinking there would be a chance that the OP would feel better as a result of your observation?

I mean, even though it made me feel even more shitty, it was a good reminder that I made raw common mistake of subtracting two percentages vs dividing to form the new percentage. I should have known better.
