    all this tells me that people to date still don’t understand percentages and probability.

      I just remember someone trying to explain in past probably on Lemmy, how the percentage is just a part of a area, not like 40% across the whole map just 40% chance it might rain in this one spot or something like that

        40% chance a spot in that area will have rain.

        They spoke of this on the news yesterday, 90km away was clear skies but they were still in the region that had storm warnings.
