  I hate those type of stats that sound good but don’t actually express what they seem to express.

  Instead of looking at the average age at death, I’d be much more interested in the average age if the population alive at a give point in time.

  It’s a risk reward analysis and not strictly a 1:1 hour pay relation. No one guarantees you any positive outcome here.

  Best case I get the fee removed after a short conversation.

  Worst case, I have to engage in a long drawn argument still having to pay full afterwards.

  best case was a simple mistake and I just have to ask politely. This can be considered very unlikely in this case because the recipient has a dedicated section for the fee, indicating that they’re not going to make any change to the bill. So the risk reward is highly leaning towards the worst case as the expected outcome.

  That would be confident, but usually it’s not worth the trouble.

  I’d rather leave with 20 quid less than wasting 30 min of my time.

  It’s simple, if a restaurant adds something to the bill I did not agree to beforehand I’ll never eat there again.

  Notification LEDs kinda only make sense for phones without OLED since you can simply display a notification with minimal energy construction.
