    to be clear I’m not arguing against you or disagreeing the fraction thing demonstrates what you’re saying. It just really bothers me when I think about it like my brain will not accept it even though it’s right in front of me it’s almost like a physical sensation. I think that’s what cognitive dissonance is. Fortunately in the real world this has literally never come up so I don’t have to engage with it.

      no, i know and understand what you mean. as i said in my original comment; it’s not intuitive. but if everything in life were intuitive there wouldn’t be mind blowing discoveries and revelations… and what kind of sad life is that?
