  Sticking a '0' on the end multiplies any number by '10' no matter what base
system you are using; it's a fundamental constant of place notation.

  You're part of the conspiracy!  You manipulated the data by switching from
one number base to another in the middle of your argument in a spurious
attempt to discredit me!  Admit it, you're working for Big Oil!
