[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 2294088, member: 71234"][I]but most of us know it to be a thousand million.[/I] You do not know it to be that, since there is the chance that someone is referring quite legitimately to a million million as a billion. More accurately, you work on the assumption that you are using the same terms as they are. Many of the greatest disasters in history are based on two sets of people 'knowing' different and incompatable things to be true. Wisdom lies in considering that what you 'know' may in fact be wrong.[/QUOTE]
