Yeah, I guess, lots of maths being done without units is the culprit here.
2 / 0.5 = 4just makes it sound like you’ve magically applied some transformation to2, which has cloned it.2 cakes / 0.5 cakes = 4 half-cakesrather makes it clear why it’s suddenly double the amount, without cloning involved.xilliah@beehaw.org 7 months ago
