10.9 > 10.11

[Traverse]

Came here expecting a Mavericks vs El Capitan debat. After reading three posts my face was like:

Really? This again.

This thread is *insane*

X is 10
V is 5

: P

Following Your logic then... his OS Version wouldn't be 5, it'd be 4.88.

Does it bug anyone else that 10.9 is mathematically a far greater value than 10.11?

Clearly, this would qualify as a "first world problem". Meh.

No, it would be 5.3972.

To add to the confusion, just remember that 10.11 is actually the Twelfth (12th) major release of OS X.

I see no confusion. X + II = XII = 12. Apple writes this as 10.11 or X.11, not as XII. ;-)
