Absolutely, not to mention the difficulty people have in grasping the difference between a billion and a trillion. | ||||||||

Always use the same unit in comparisons. Instead of "1.6 trillion vs 6.4 billion" write "1600 billion vs 6.4 billion"! | ||||||||

I've remembered the fact that a million seconds is ~11 days and a billion seconds is ~32 years since I was a kid. Still feels pretty ridiculous as an adult, no-one who didn't know it has even guessed close (and some who try to work it out were way off). I just had to google what a trillion is in years, and the answer made me realise I don't instinctively understand the relationship between a billion and a trillion either! | ||||||||

What’s the difference between a million and a billion? A billion. | ||||||||
