    If you think I have made an error, feel free to point it out. I prefer being corrected than being wrong.

    I’ve never understood why people are so reluctant to admit mistakes. Insecurity? I have no problem with it.

      The person I initially responded to said that the reason I was off by a factor of 1000 was because I forgot to multiply by the K in the price.

      I said the actual reason I was off by 1000 was because when I glanced at the calculator I read the result wrong. The math was right, my reading comprehension wasn’t.

      I was never arguing that the answer I put in the comment wasn’t wrong. I even edited it.

        Bruh, you did the math wrong. Knowing the difference between a billion and a trillion is basic math. That you got wrong.
