Really Hard Trivia

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

And his asking why is that is even more retarded.
This coming from "Gummi Bear" is laughable.

Why is it that if things are within 30 or 40% of each other they are the same thing?

*Sigh* Fine, I'll rephrase my question. Based on sea level, the highest and lowest points on Earth are mathematically only 6% (7 whatever) different from each other. Why is that?

Let me try to make this easy for you.

The tallest place on earth is Mt Everest at 29,035 ft above sea level
The deepest place on earth is in the Mariana Trench at 36,201 ft above sea level. (about 1.4 miles different)

That would make Mariana 25% deeper than Everest is tall. Which is a lot. It would be the difference in a person 5'-0" tall next to a person 6'-3" tall.

I'm going to need a fact check on the Mariana Trench being above sea level.
Thanks.

It’s like a mile and a half difference more if you discount the snow pack on Everest

I'm going to bet that he goes with some variation of this answer because it sounds geologicky and his original answer doesn't make any sense now that he found out they aren't even remotely close in distance from sea level.

Firstly, that was a TV show episode not a film. Secondly, the Bond character is portrayed as an American spy working for the ‘Combined Intelligence Agency’.

Pretty much this. Erosion of the highest mountains due to weather above. Plate tectonics, sublimation recycling keeping the depth pretty constant below.

So erosion of the highest mountains happens at the same rate as plate tectonics sublimation recycling?
