Think of it this way: if I said that 0.001 or 0.1% of people had a certain congenital disease; that may seem like not many people at all. Say it as 1 in every 1000 people, or about 330,000 people in America, and it seems like a lot of people.

I agree with you on that. If it's less than 1% then it does make more sense to think of it that way.
