I stand corrected however I still really don't see the need to differentiate. It would be the same thing. I see the "definition" but don't see the real need for the word as one describes the other. It's not like a unit of measurement
Right, as in 1 mile = 63,360 inches every time.
Indeed 10 million micros may or may not equal a macro. It is even possible for 1 micro to be the difference and thus make a macro. Perhaps, like the straw on the camel's back, every macro was precipitated by the last micro in a chain of micros that eventually became too much to hold together.
But an inch will never be a mile, unless it's an inch given to a congressman about to embark on a filibuster.
