In todays world of "Precision amongst bigger numbers" it's true that when you are off, it may be more difficult to correct a low or a high, but with the precision of grams of carbs to insulin units it is much easier to be almost just as precise as with the "Law of low numbers"
the math behind the law of low number is a accurate.

And its common sense that if you are guessing a number between 1 and 1000 and you are guessing a number between 1 and 50 your chances of being within 2 is greater on the second version.

Anytime anyone makes GLOBAL statements like everyone, always or ALL. Its almost never right.

The approach and tone is still a big problem for me as is the overwhelming negative tone of the book.
