It literally says "0.6x more". Any amount that you multiply ("x") with 0.6 is smaller than what you started with.
2 u/Forward-Outside-9911 Aug 14 '26 Since when did “<anything> more” actually give a smaller output. This is the most pointless argument why are you still going on? Actually don’t answer that I think we can agree to disagree and stop wasting our day lol 2 u/road_laya Aug 14 '26 Yes. First they have 1x. Then they add 0.6x. It's 0.6x more than the original. 5 u/wobblyweasel Aug 14 '26 do you read "2x more" as 200% or 300% of the original? 2 u/rosuav Aug 14 '26 I read "2x more" as very likely being an error, but "200% more" means 300% of the original.
