I am going to disagree with the direction of travel here. The thread has converged on the tidiest answer rather than the best-supported one, and those are not the same thing.

True, and it depends on a baseline nobody has stated. Without knowing where someone started, the same number can be an excellent result or a disappointing one.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Saving this. It is the first explanation that did not require me to already understand it. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.
