No, YOU don't understand. It's all about intended audience. If he used the example of time, it's because time can't be colloquially understood as being 6-7 = 2 hours. That's the context. So his example is bad, and yes had I been in the setting of software testing, it could very well mean 2 hours. Being a QA tester, I can tell you that that kind of thing happens all the time. Listen bud, you are free to have your agenda, but don't start trolling religion just because you don't have the insight to understand that things have different meanings in different contexts written to different audiences in times that are not our own. |
It could very well mean 2 hours in some other context. From a software engineering standpoint, designers are doing a very bad job of it if 6 to 7 could mean 2. Could cause a lot of headache during testing/debugging. Being a software engineer, I'm sure you see that. Anyway, the point is, you're taking it out of context. The wording you provided, namely from ... to ..., clearly and unambiguously (at least to me and the other person you were talking to before) specifies the rest. But this should really be dropped, unless you can actually dig out the passages in question.
