> We're still orders of magnitude away from wc unfortunately

Just a reminder that “orders of magnitude” means something specific, rather than “quite a bit”, and 3 is not “orders of magnitude” more than 0.3, and neither is 5.48 “orders of magnitude” more than 1.86

Actually, 3 is two orders of magnitude (or just 1 depending on whether you count 1 as an order of magnitude or not) more than 0.3

0.3 = 3 * 10^-1, which is -1 order of magnitude

3 = 0.3 * 10^1, which is 1 order of magnitude

You are right that 5.48 is not an order of magnitude more than 1.86, however. They are the same order of magnitude.

> (or just 1 depending on whether you count 1 as an order of magnitude or not

Of course you don't count 1: otherwise 3 would be 1 order of magnitude greater than 3, which is obviously wrong.

Mate, 3 is a single order of magnitude more than 0.3, not two.
