It does when it’s talking about certifications for weights of material being stored or produced. That’s how those weight limits are written and enforced. “9,999,999” if it’s for instance up to 10 million pounds. Literally means up to but not including in some industries, which is why there are so many 9’s. Not arguing the overall point but those 9’s do make sense for weights.
Ok. It's a poor way of counting (what about 9,999.1 pounds?) but seems plausible for it to be worded that way.
I still suspect the tweet is a message. Possibly just to push the hashtag #VinylChloride for certain conversations concerning the number 99 and Tom Brady's number 12. Hopefully some good will come of it.
Technical matters by their nature have potential to be, and almost always are confusing to those who are not in that industry. You can have 9,999.9999999999999 repeating forever and it would be fine, until it hits 10, then it’s not, this makes the rules very clear, everything up to that 10. I only get upset when social media posters weaponize peoples confusion of technical matters and warp negative headlines around them, knowing it will generate clicks and attention. By all means continue digging as you are, but do so well informed on what’s truly nefarious and what’s just confusing industry numbers and jargon.
