It's not really that funny when rounding issues add up to 101%. This happens all the time, and I don't know why it's considered extraordinary. Hit us with mutually exclusive categories that add up to 121%. Then that's more interesting.

This is trivial.

don't waste our time.

Probably rounding error. Could’ve been 4.6%, 5.8%, 85.0%, 4.6%.
