How is a count more "humanizing" than a percentage? They're both numbers.

I agree. 10 is 10% of 100, 1,000,000 is 10% of 10,000,000. They're mathematically equivalent. Why do I care if it's 10 people, or 10,000,000 people, or if it's just quoted as 10%? These are all abstract numbers, numbers are not matters of humanity.
