However as the lead dev said, he isn't good with math.

Politely, I think you were unable to see through the characterization and light hearted tone in the article. We like to be relatable. As the article states, our belief is people are more turned off/confuzzled/dismayed by many digits to the RIGHT of the decimal. People like big numbers. Having 20 million satoshi sounds a lot nicer than 0.5 BTC, for instance. Can't tell you how many people have said "Yeah, I want to invest in bitcoin, but it's too late. I'll never be able to buy one." Laypeople don't like a lot of decimal places. Savvy informed cryptonerds should be able to understand the concept of atomic units. TurtleCoin is all about community and making cryptocurrency accessible for more people and we feel 1 trillion @ 2 decimals accomplishes that.

Arguing about supply after pointing out that it is actually lower is moot so I won't go further. People seem to enjoy mining, transacting and raining many turtle a day.
