Refilling the whole system every few years is a 99.99999+% reduction though. I'll give them a pass for rounding up on the headline or press release.
Eh, I think even if it's 99.9999% they should still round down to 99% to give the reader the knowledge that no it's not actually 100% even if it's miniscule. 99% is still super impressive. 100% means one thing and one thing only.
Do I need to smell that number? I think I know where it came from.
Lol, and now you're being persnickety about a 100,000th or 10,000th placeholder for the 9 in a forum comment. Do I need to smell your pits? I think we know how often you bathe. XD
Nope. Just the reality that I described one closed loop system while Data centers represents thousands of closed loop systems. You need to work on your responses. Your attempt at descibing the odor of my response has nothing to do with where I pulled it from. I pulled it from reality. That thing you try to create not the one we all live in.
