Ha yes, my point was just that it is hard to quantify most of these and that 10x ends up meaning so awesome you buy it, which is almost a tautology.

(Thiel actually quantifies it in the examples he offers in the original text, if I remember correctly)

When I took driver's ed many years ago, the official state written material had it as fact that highway driving is "3 times easier" than city driving. It was actually on my written test. Multiple choice, and the other answers were different numbers to chose from... but no: "3 times" is the correct answer.
