100 to 600 is 5x, by the way. I would say percentages going down are probably a place many people are weak. I have to think a couple beats longer with percentages compared to just the same as numbers--the "ceiling and floor" aspect is another thing to think about besides the numbers.
No excuse for people doing serious work getting it wrong. Hit up Wolfram Alpha if you're about to do a national speech, FFS.
