Enough for what? Or better/worse as opposed to what?
Rich enough that, if you're going to make these sorts of calculations, you'll get reasonable results (rather than misleading or wildly misleading ones).
The catch is of course that your reply is in itself a statement of the form that you declared useless (misleading/wildly misleading - how do you know that?).
I think there's some misunderstanding here. I said don't assume. If you have some reason to think what you're doing is reasonable or ok, then you're not assuming.
