This is sort of akin to how freshmen calculus students confuse a function being small with it having a small derivative.

See my other comment to you with example numbers. We can discuss the probability of those numbers being accurate, but they demonstrate the principle at hand, and that is sufficient to my position here. (Again; I don't care one way or the other if the intrepretation is right -- it need only be demonstrated a valid interpretation of the question).
