Thanks for pointing that out. That comment that you linked to seems a valuable post in the discussion of torture verses dust specs. I just used torture versus dust specks in my comment for familiarity value. To consider the question more formally, of course, you need to find two things, one trivial and one major, that the ratio of badness is exactly 1 to a billion. The exact details do not exactly matter to my point, but you are right that the example I gave is not technically accurate.
