No! An improvement from zero dB to 10 dB is still 10 dB. It doesn't matter if you went from below the noise to above the noise - it is still 10 dB.

Let's not start equating real numbers to "percent improvement, readability, etc.".

If a 10dB increase brings you from zero copy to something above the
noise level, that's a near-infinite improvement, wouldn't you say?

Much different from going from 20 over 9 to 30 over.
