K tomu problematickemu citatu, jeho plne anglicke znenie je:

The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent, but there we see an increase of about 1.3.

Posledna veta je dolezita preto, lebo umoznuje dat si vsetky tie spominane cisla do kontextu. A jednoduchou aritmetikou sa da ukazat, ze Gates hovori o moznom SPOMALENI (TEMPA) RASTU POPULACIE o 10%, nie o celkovom znizeni poctu obyvatelov o 10%.

Gates teda nepredpoklada ziadny ubytok obyvatelstva, naopak, do roku 2050 nas moze byt o 30% viac ako dnes.
