First off, if you don't have anything constructive to say, you STFU and keep scrolling bro. Nobody's complaining about anything, just trying to accurately understand.
Calm down slick. I wasn't referring to you. I was referring to the people who stress out over a number that not even the VT commands can explain or calculate without a computer and get all dick-bent about the rest of their careers. You're trying to "accurately understand" something that even the guys in stu-con and/or CO of the squadron can't bust out a calculator and explain.
EDIT: The NSS and it's inherent flaws are pretty much a topic for a mathematics thesis so I gave up on trying to make sense of it a long time ago.
