I wonder who hotforconsultation is that Marina has been speaking with in the past couple of videos? Hmmmmm.

You’re almost right. Instead of reducing a number or population BY one-tenth, decimation actually means reducing it TO one-tenth of the original number or population. So it really means a 90% reduction, as in reducing a population to just 10% of its original numbers.

That’s why it’s used to indicate widespread destruction– 90% of whatever you’re measuring would be obliterated.

I couldn’t find this explained anywhere but if you are correct about the 90% reduction a plausible reason might be that “decimation” is the same as moving the “decimal” point one space to the left i.e… 100. becomes 10.0
