Reply to comment by tvp61196 in Should I read The Martian by Andy Weir even if I’ve already watch the movie and remember most plot points? by CaregiverBig7228

A million dollars is AT LEAST marginally better than a nail through the head.

It tells you nothing about the difference in quality. If something is at least marginally better it COULD be miles better

The implication being, they don't think it's much better like the person they replied to.
