[SilasX]

Hyperbole is when you use obvious, extreme exaggerations. Going one unit past "completely plausible" is a confused, weak use of the technique.

For example, I wouldn't call it hyperbole (or effective writing) if you referred to an interest rate of 45% as 55% "to emphasize how big it is".

Agreed. It's kind of distracting because, when you read it, you start thinking, "is that right?" My immediate thought was to go look up with Mosaic came out and determine if there were graphical browsers before that, which, I think, is not what the author intended.
