    No, it’s the correct line of thought in most cases, as most numbers we work with on a daily basis are not fractions. This might be skewed differently in the US, but it’s a solution which works in most cases. Heuristics are not necessarily perfect solutions and additional considerations need to be applied when they fail.

      Heuristics is not most cases mate, get that through that thick skull of yours. Heuristic is about solving a problem, the problem in this case being “which of these fractions represents the largest number?”.

      Jesus fucking Christ on a toast!

        You’re discarding all the sources and arguments we’re discussing, insulting me with childish language and throwing a hissy fit. I thought we had a reasonable discussion going, but this is obviously over.

        Good day.
