    Just like prices ending in .99, a significant amount of useful idiots are going to look at the word “lost” and assume it means killed.

      What I meant is:

      Propaganda is writing 0.99 with the intention of tricking people into buying. Note here to purpose of writing 99 is used.

      Casualties was born from the necessity of generals to know how many troops are available. There is no psychological trick in there. Just because civilians misinterpret it does not mean there is a propagandistic goal hidden somewhere.

      See the difference?
