Yes, I am afraid it is slightly better! The users that exist in
the here and now are 90% of them happy. The 99% of people who
could see it are also 90% happy because 90% of them can see it.
But 90% of the 99% is a lesser number of people being happy than
the 90% of internet users that can see it.
The form of this argument is a convex inverse of a well known
Aristotelian syllogism developed on my home planet.
