no matter the reason/circumstance, lose 99% of something and the remainder must be increased by a multiple of one hundred times (10,000 %) just to return to it’s original condition.
in the immediate aftermath (pardon the pun) of an era in which 20% annual gains were regarded as minimal performance by far too many people, the argument for “slow” is once again being reconsidered. but this moment’s shadow will vanish with the first rays of light. and as always, such calculations are not limited to only those things that can be quantified with numbers. (which ironically, adds a whole new dimension to the word “accountability”)
