    Sure, it’s impossible to know with total accuracy what the true number of people is, but based on census data/birth and death rates/immigration and emigration stats, they’ve got a pretty reliable way of calculating an estimate.

      I wonder what error those estimates have, expressed in days? Maybe a dumb way of expressing an estimate error band, but if they’re saying “40 million today” knowing +/- how many days would be interesting. Or maybe it’s just me.
