Yeah, I did arrive at something similar after a moment’s thought, but an example that the reader needs to explicitly transform into a different one (“okay, that number makes no sense, but the same logic applies to smaller numbers that do make sense”) isn’t a very good example.
I think I tend to do things like that automatically, so it wasn’t a problem for me. But I can see why that would be a problem to other people who think differently, so I agree with you.
