I think getting the facts right is important. If the number of millionaires is "not the point", why even include the figure in a comment in the first place?


because I could have put a tilde, or the source I used, and its not important when we hit these ranges of number relative to the population. The message is more important.

The figure is for perspective.

Your problem only revealed that the number was too low, which only strengthens the actual message. Thats very unproductive and not healthy.
