And so this messed with the wrong guy.
Well, but it's it's really interesting to kind of unpick this because first of all, so it's got these numbers on like pick the number is what's um smartphone adoption in Japan by operating system.
Okay.
First problem is
Um, what do you mean by adoption?
Do you mean use?
Do you mean the install base?
Do you mean that I'm spending money on the app store?
Like what what what I rough I think you probably mean the install base, but that's not actually you're I I I don't want to clarify that.
And I always used talk about the the stuff as like imagine you had an intern.
So that's a classic kind of an intern question, like, well, what do you mean when you say adoption?
What are you asking me for?
Fine.
So then it goes and it finds a number from um stat counter.
Well stat counter is web traffic.
People use more expensive phones more, people use iPhones more.
So that's not gonna give you the adoption number.
Unless it's gonna give you traffic but it's usage but it's not gonna it's not in it's not gonna give you an adoption adoption number.
And then it transcribed the number one.
So again, imagine you've got the again, you'd have told the intern, no, don't use that counter.
