@superglaze I'd love to know how these things are decided. There's no way there's a counter at Apple HQ that's been working since song 1.
@jonhoneyball @superglaze Not disputing overall sales figures, but I'd bet my iPad they can't precisely tell who bought the 25th billion...

@bazzacollins@superglaze so you are effectively saying they are running incomplete or inaccurate records on their credit card processing? -
@jonhoneyball@bazzacollins@superglaze Are you saying all the transactions go through a single pipeline in numerical order? -
@jackschofield@bazzacollins@superglaze do you believe thats necessary in order to count? -
@jonhoneyball@bazzacollins@superglaze No, I'm suggesting that when things are parallel, what ends up in x place may not be chronological. -
@jackschofield@bazzacollins@superglaze there will be the definition of when something is bought - easy enough to do on CC processing time -
@jonhoneyball@bazzacollins@superglaze It should really be when someone clicked BUY. Your result is basically arbitrary.... -
@jackschofield@bazzacollins@superglaze and you are certain they don’t have date/time stamps on the transactions? uhhuh. -
@jonhoneyball@jackschofield Not certain, no. Just seems highly unlikely they would go to effort of querying xx databases for a PR stunt. - 3 more replies
