If n_products = (claimed products that do exist) - (claimed products that don't exist), maybe. Of course, no one knows whether Magic Leap actually has a product, so there's that...

At least an amount of people would say that the demos are a sham - that'd be one way of generating negative products.

Apologies for correcting but it's "a number of people", not "an amount". "People" are countable.

Pedantry at it's best, but I can honestly say that I've learnt something :)

Hey at least a few VFX houses got paid.

What if number of products = -0.000..(infinite zeroes)..1

Would that be both 0 and less than 0? there's got to be something wrong here. :)

A bit off topic, but you're missing that the number you mentioned doesn't exist. What you're describing is an infinitesimal value, or, the largest negative number. This number doesn't exist in the reals.
