Living with Engineers
Jennifer: I’m thinking about making a cheesecake tomorrow.
Nayden: Mmm, I love German cheesecake, it’s my favorite.
Jennifer: No, this’ll be New York cheesecake, it’s 10x better. Actually, I don’t really like German cheesecake, it’s not very good.
Roland: But 10x better than not very good, is not that great at all..

Hm, I think it all depends on the scale, doesn’it? If NYCC is 10, and GCC is 1, then 10×1 == 10. If GCC is -1, then 10*-1 is of course very much worse.
You just need to be more specific, I’d say.
A: How much do you love me, on a scale from 1 to 10.
B: 11!
A: With 1 being the highest.
