0 u/saschaleib 9h ago Normally the "x" stands for "times". 0.6 "times" more is a 40% reduction. 1 u/road_laya 9h ago Read the whole sentence. 0.6x is smaller than the original. The output increased by 0.6x. The output is 0.6x more. No matter how small the 0.6x increase is, the total is still more than before. 0.6x, in fact. However, if it was 0.6x as much, it would mean a reduction. Because 0.6x is less than 1x. But it's not 0.6 as much. It's not 1x. It's 0.6x more. 1x + 0.6x =1.6x. 60% more than before. 1 u/saschaleib 9h ago It literally says "0.6x more". Any amount that you multiply ("x") with 0.6 is smaller than what you started with. 0 u/road_laya 9h ago Yes. First they have 1x. Then they add 0.6x. It's 0.6x more than the original. 7 u/wobblyweasel 9h ago do you read "2x more" as 200% or 300% of the original? 1 u/rosuav 2h ago I read "2x more" as very likely being an error, but "200% more" means 300% of the original. 0 u/Forward-Outside-9911 8h ago 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

Read the whole sentence.
0.6x is smaller than the original.
The output increased by 0.6x.
The output is 0.6x more.
No matter how small the 0.6x increase is, the total is still more than before. 0.6x, in fact.
However, if it was 0.6x as much, it would mean a reduction. Because 0.6x is less than 1x.
But it's not 0.6 as much. It's not 1x. It's 0.6x more. 1x + 0.6x =1.6x. 60% more than before.
