"Don't worry. Sure, the thief left with all your cash, jewelry, IDs, tax information, and private documents... But 99.998% of the mass contained by your house is still there! Honestly, if it's less than 100kg it's not even worth getting upset about."

Yeah, it's a stupid statistic designed to mislead, since the metric bears no real relationship to the impact or severity of the act.

I wonder how the NSA would react if a spy browsed all their top-secret documents, but made copies of "only 0.002%" of them?
