Yeah I get it - it just feels a bit clumsy to use the flipped units when summarising the optimisation. Just a personal taste thing though.

I still think "X times less than" can GTFO though - as in 10,000 is "seven times less than" 70,000 - which is the kind of thing I'm seeing more recently. That wasn't mentioned in the article though, it was maybe a bit unfair to lump them together.
