Holy shit! The idea that it's 60M instead of 80M misses the fact that it is an order of magnitude different scale.

Would it help you people if I said, Germany is 10^2M vs 10^3M? I'm I pedant, but this is ridiculous.

Just to be clear:

60/300= 20%

80/300= 26%

Not much of a difference, IMO. Make your case if you disagree.
