14:17 <@MagicalTux> when we were in the second largest bank in Japan, we represented more than half of all the volume of SWIFT processed by that bank (almost overloading their systems a couple of times)
I can see:
1. No mention of overloading computer systems.
2. No mention of a million SWIFT transfers every day.
Japan is economically very different from the rest of Asia.
Well it does not exactly say the word computer, but since they are also in the same quote basically claiming they sent about a million SWIFT transfers every day it pretty much confirms the obvious which is that it is computer systems and not manual systems this quote is talking about as the bank is not going to handle million transfers manually.
Since they claim they represented more than half of the volume it means something in the range of million since the volumes at the bank are several millions.
I claim that my calculations make about sense and you are just refusing the interpret the quotes the obvious way without any kind of justification for that, just that you refuse to believe the obvious.
And Japan is different from the rest of asia but in the direction that Japan has bigger percentage of banking functions than many other parts so the number of SWIFT messages processed are probably higher in Japan than my calculations show.
