> and that it was in our top 10 domestic exports

Note that a main point of the article is that it is not in the US' top 10 exports



Well one of these has to be incorrect then as this was said it was the US's ninth largest export

Like the GP said, the whole topic of this article is getting an accurate figure, and how the 2%/9th largest figure is incorrect.


Incorrect, yes, but to be fair .67% and 2% occupy the same "wow, that's a large proportion of the economy" order-or-magnitude band of surprise (for me). Obviously not as charismatic/sensational, but still significant and surprising (to me).


BtB is not a serious news source, its mostly ragebait.
