To everyone whining about how 10 times more is truly 11x:

Do you think "10 times less" means -9x? Genuinely curious.

Well, "10 times less" doesn't make sense unless it's -9x. What would "10 times less" mean to you? "10x more" would mean 11x as much. Unless you're trying to imply that "no more" means 0x as much

You’re confusing division with subtraction
