>Did anyone believe that the number was exact and accurate for all people? Are there people who think, "Oh, I've only gotten 9,500 steps a day this week; my health will begin to fail." ? 10k steps a day is not a myth, it's a goal.
No, but that's not the point.
The point is that it's an arbitrary (and potentially discouraging) goal. If 5K steps are fine, then you shouldn't try to go to 10K just because somebody mentioned is a goal.
That's regardless of if you think 9.5K is just as good, or you think 10K is some hard magic number.
