Nice !!! Well explained, I never got that before. Thank you
Still don't get why its 0.79, a really weird number to pick for a standard.
It can't have been too much of a stretch to get to 80%, surely?
It isn't. look at it from the other side, you allow 20% loss of phosporous. that likely includes 20.9% aswell, and 21% is a fail. Turn it around again and anything over 79% passes.
