You missed my very narrow point. Saying that one thing is growing at 9% versus another thing growing at 3% tells you nothing. 9% of what? 3% of what? Surely you can see that in absolute terms, 3% of a much much larger figure is more than 9% of a much much smaller figure.
Just like somebody telling you a stock price. Means nothing without knowing the outstanding shares if you are trying to determine market capitalization. That's why I hate it when somebody says "I won't buy stocks under $10". Any stock can trade under $10 if they split the stock enough. Heck, Microsoft only needs to split 3 for 1 and they'll be under $10 too.
Overall, I agree with the article too, I'm just picking on a pet peeve.
