Reply to comment by DogsAreOurFriends in Bloomberg: Amazon Packages Burn in India, Final Stop in Broken Recycling System. Plastic wrappers and parcels that start off in Americans’ recycling bins end up at illegal dumpsites and industrial furnaces — and inside the lungs of people by ombx
From the article I cited:

I understand the point you are making. But all I needed to do was say, "For all practical purposes, that is 100% correct."
Or perhaps I should have said, "That is 99.99999999% correct."
I think you are quibbling over a difference which is indistinguishable from zero.

The evidence says otherwise. And as the article says, we've been lied to.

I understand the point you are making. But all I needed to do was say, "For all practical purposes, the evidence says otherwise."
Or perhaps I should have said, "The evidence says otherwise, but with statistically insignificant exceptions."
I think you are quibbling over a difference which is indistinguishable from zero.
