Lol, the only idiot on this thread is you. Here is why: a) when you describe a change off a base state then you focus on the change itself and express the change. Example: A is 1000% faster than B or A is 10 times faster than B. b) when you describe a new state relative to a base state then you express A as function of base state B. Example: A is 1000% faster than B or A is 11 times the speed of B. Both can be interchangeably used to describe a difference between A and B but one should do so accurately. I actually start to think it's not a math issue you have but a language problem. So if you reread what I wrote you will notice that the 2 things I said are not identical.
