The mythical portion of the number is that last 0.02%... the stuff that is just extra work for no logical benefit.

It does make me wonder why it would take you hours to do that though... was the code that complicated to test for some reason?

Yes, it was. It used a very obscure language feature of JavaScript. I won't get more detailed than that.

I still don't understand why that would cause testing to be hard, but since you won't explain it... I guess it leaves me thinking the problem might not be entirely them.
