true , however you dont do that with people

#30 to #27 - dinkcool

(02/01/2013)[-]

Oh and i just noticed that the number i gave you was from 2011 so the population is definately above 7 billions today

#31 to #30 - mcstorms

(02/01/2013)[-]

Yes I know its above 7 billion today, however it wasn't in 2011

#28 to #27 - dinkcool

Why the hell wouldent you do that?

Cause then we would never have an accurate account of how many people there are. If we did that we would of rounded it up to 7 billion as soon as it hit 6.5 years ago.

If you say that the population is 6 bilion you are wrong with 973 million people but if you say that the population is 7 billion you are only wrong with 27 million.

If the number is 6,999,999,999 it's still 6 billion . There is no way to be less wrong , wrong is wrong.

#36 to #35 - dinkcool

(02/01/2013)[-]

If it is at 6,999,999,999 it is at 6,999,999,999 and nothing else. If you do not allow rounding up then rounding down is not allowed either.

and for this reason I always round to closest decimal when im trying to be correct

I agree with ya however I don't check the population of earth everyday. SO I use the number 6 billion or rather now 7 billion to refer to the population becuase I'm not sure of it's exact number.

As of today it is more than 7 billion people.

I ******* know that , if you read the conversation you would know I ******* know that.

#39 to #37 - dinkcool

(02/01/2013)[-]

I really dont see whats wrong with saying 6.9

#61 to #39 - mcstorms

(02/02/2013)[-]

Nothing , saying 7 billion instead of 6.9 is wrong.

It's ******* hopeless, bro. Either he is trolling or he is sincerely an idiot (let's hope it's the former)

Anyways thumbs for your troubles and for just generally being right.
