7% is close? In what world is 7% close?
If you ran 7% of a mile in 5 minutes, would you claim you were close to running a 5 minute mile?

It’s about 1oom off. In some contexts, one oom is pretty close.

Weird definition of close you have there. If I asked for $700, and you gave me $50, would that be close?

Looking at it logarithmically makes more sense to me. 500B seems a lot closer to 7T as 3K is to 500B. It's only off by an order of magnitude

Depends. If I fart in a glass jar and then I try to sell it to you for $700, but you end up buying it for $50, I'd say it's pretty close.
