False. They also stick fake numbers in there with zero regard for consistency.
That’s a difference of 100.000.000Hz, so it is totally legit to show it like this. /s

I guess a good way to view it is, a stand mixer, a hand mixer and a whisk. All have purposes.. but you have to be using the right tool for the right workload to get the best performance.
It isn't better to scramble 6 eggs with a stand mixer before you put them in the pan, just use a fork. Doesn't mean the stand mixer won't blow the fork away when making ground beef.
very odd its not going 3.18, 3.211115, 3.222224, 3.233333 must be before the ipo announcement
