| Jan 15, 2015 at 23:08 | comment | added | Martin Krzywinski | No, negligible does not mean small enough to be zero. Its meaning is associated with importance or relative magnitude rather than absolute magnitude. For example, "Compared to Bill Gates, my income is negligible." Note this does not mean that my income is essentially zero. | |
