 Some people like to harp on "accuracy" because they stand to gain from someone being exceedingly specific. Companies might call it a "new, revised recipe", but I will continue to call it a "bad marketing scheme". "But you're missing out on the details! We changed so many things!" Yes, you changed exactly as much as you had to to be able to write "new, revised recipe" on it without getting fined. [[:Jehovah's witnesses]] may call it "respecting the secular authorities like the bible told them to", I will continue to call it "rejecting the secular authorities". That's not what it is? That's quite exactly what it is. The point is that people always seem to think that their specific ways are **so very much different** from everything else. They will always add their special flavor to well-established things without making any fundamental changes, but then drag conversations into the mud about these irrelevant details because <wrap em>they're important!</wrap> Look, just because your Schnitzel has a lemon on top of it doesn't make it any less of a Schnitzel.((I will admit, there WILL eventually be a point where talking about this Schnitzel with a lemon on top as "just a Schnitzel" will run into problems, but at that point I will always make the necessary concessions.))
-====== Not relevant to the point ======
+====== Numbers ======
 Sometimes I will like to use numbers to illustrate an idea. These numbers are usually an estimation which I use solely to illustrate a concept - as I said in the beginning - to get across dynamics or mechanics. The exact number isn't typically relevant as long as it is //reasonably// within the ballpark. The width of what I mean with "reasonable" here depends on where the difference in number genuinely makes a difference.

 It cannot be understated how important it is to keep in mind that this is how this wiki works - it tries to give an idea on how and where I categorize things, and for what reason, NOT to teach specifics or details about any one thing. Jehovah's witnesses "paradise" falls into the category "heaven" in my mind, so that's what I will say. However, this has significant implications for YOU, the reader:
-After reading any one of my articles, please do NOT think that you have learned anything. Do not [[:im 14 and this is deep|run around and present your newfound "knowledge" as knowledge]], because it will make you look like an idiot. Just like my articles will look really dumb to anyone who insists on these details, you will look really dumb to them for leaving out the details or "confusing" things. The reality is that I was very well aware of the "difference" between things but refused to acknowledge the difference.
