Linear growth < exponential growth
So... Basic math...?
I don't think this was meant for, obviously, really smart people like you. It is to give a sense of scale that a working person understands. The concept of a billion dollars isn't easy for most people to actually comprehend.
The main difference is that you work at a linear rate, but can exploit others at an exponential rate.
