I've had a 99.9% success rate with all that I've tried. That's over a dozen popular games so far.

In order to get a number like 99.9%, you'd have to have over ~700 games, even with optimistic rounding. "Over dozens" calls this into question.
The key was with all the ones I've tried. Not all the Linux games on steam.
The grandparent poster's point is if you played "over a dozen", say, 16 games and one of them failed, then 93.75% of games worked for you. Getting to 99.9% requires a lot more games to succeed for even a single failure.

Obviously in context you didn't literally mean 99.9%

Ah OK got it, you're right it was more "they/it/Steam work/works for me" not a scientific assessment, thanks. The percentage was supposed to be like witty or something. My system isn't even a serious gamer machine, cost like $1200 last year.
I bet you're just a joy at parties.
