I have a lot of detractors not smart enough to understand large numbers. I say X is better than (bignum >> googolplex) people suffering the tiniest noticeable pain, and the # gets rounded down to "billions" or "quintillions". https://twitter.com/just_an_initial/status/940110359133851648 …
I think a more precise way of saying it is that they're not smart enough to understand the concept that there *are* such things as large numbers. If big numbers are hard, you can just say, "Wow, I didn't even understand that number", not blithely round to a quintillion.
