What's the difference between your post and its parent?

OP (parent's parent) suggested that there are more startups now and therefore more startup finance stories as a result.

Parent suggested that despite this there are only ever thirty articles on the front page at a time, so we shouldn't see more finance ones.

I pointed out that this just means that the ratio of finance stories within that thirty is likely to be higher.

No. Parent's point was the same as yours: numerator increased and denominator unchanged implies fraction increased.

You can read it either way. I assumed because of the winky face that he wasn't agreeing with OP.
