gerryflap@feddit.nl 2 days agoIt’s a bit weird, but imo not wrong. 500 > steps/day or steps/day < 500 is the same. As long as the big end of the < or > is at the 500 it makes sense. It only doesn’t make sense if you literally read 500 > steps/day as “five hundred greater than steps a day” instead of parsing it as math.

Only reason it’s so jarring is the context has people parsing the whole list as language and they weren’t expecting to have to abruptly parse a mathematical expression.
