98% isn't very much

98% sounds like a lot. If someone wins the lottery 98% of the times they play, they are clearly blessed. Getting a top mark (e.g.: 10/10) on exams 98% of the time will likely lead to an honour diploma.

But a restaurant where clients don’t get of food poisoning 98% of time is getting people sick on a monthly (or even weekly) basis. If an employer pays their employees 98% of the times, I definitely wouldn’t want to work there. If I pay before leaving a restaurant only 98% of the time, I’ll be in trouble.
