Their baseline values are very misleading.

But their relative metrics can still be useful.

For example, it's very inaccurate to say that 51% of the internet is down.

But it's precise to say that packet loss among the working nodes has increased about 30% in the last 24 hours, and sharply.

But that's likely 2 or 3 nodes, not a meaningful sample
