Very conflicted about this tbh. Always thought decimate should mean destroying 9/10 of something rather than 1/10 because that is de facto norm. Also reducing one order of magnitude just *feels* right.

Yes.. the magic in "decimate" is in the motivation, not in the numbers. It's almost romantic in its power: "But the most terrible of all other executions was the decimation of the army, where by lot, one out of ten in the army was put to death."
