    I disagree (it necessarily being hyperbolic), by now it’s been proven we can have “real” physical pain (and thereby also damage). Maybe the number sounds exaggerated but we don’t know.

      By hyperbolic I mean that 4000% is likely not the actually correct specific number, but that it is a much higher number, just maybe not 4000%.

      Maybe its more like 12 or 13 or 18, compared to 10.

      Basically I am trying to agree with you and say that yes, it is substantially worse, but maybe not literally 4000% worse.

      If 100 is 100%, 4000% would be 4000.
