You know what you have a point with that computation, which make me to admire you because I think
you are best mathematics. But I guess you can't get the point the simple logic made by "
theymos" it is not about the merit you earned or the spendable merit it's about how they can help each one to be matured in digitalization world. They trying to woke up in the reality of modernization, try to looked first the present before you looked in the future.
He did say that, "may not be so accurate..." didn't he? So that means that he's not the best
mathematician (BTW not mathematics). I'm not saying that its worthless, in fact its great, its just that he already claimed that its not that accurate.
He's simply reflecting that in those times it is possible that you may earn specific number of merit(s). Because in those times I'm sure you may improve to eventually make quality posts.
He has the same point of view as you are, you just don't realized it.
