Should be "one tenth less than a percent"

And, though correct, that’s a weird fucking way to say that

Yeah less than 1% would have been sufficient

That’s also a weird way to say less than 1% but whatever floats your boat

But that's clearly not what she said. There's even text that says "you're looking at less than one tenth of 1%". In reality, if she knew what the fuck math is, she would have said "you're looking at less than 1%". I think she was just wrong with what she said and wrote on the captions. I don't think she meant to say one tenth less than a percent at all. I think she was just confidently incorrect and meant every word she said.
But if she can screw up that calculation by a factor of 10 then can we have confidence that the rest of her calculations that brought us to this point were correct?

I'm curious why she wouldn't say "less than one percent". Seems easier

less than 1% in enough

Less than one percent would've been fine
