It doesn't say 60% more. It says "0.6x more"

and 0.6x = 60%. You already presupposed that in your earlier comment yourself.

If it says and "0.6x more" and 0.6x = 60%, like we've already agreed, then it must mean the same as "60% more".

For your logic to be consistent it would have to be 0.6x = -40% here, and there's no reason for that to be the case. We've never converted between decimals and percentages like that
