depending on how you count sleep humans have a close to 70% uptime. pretty abysmal, GOD!
Even when you're sleeping the system is still operating. So since it's not 100% active nor completely off it's a weird area that someone with amazing math skills could come up with a higher percentage.
Systems that are 'down for maintenance' are also still being used.
30% downtime is 30% downtime.
I guess that's true, the system is even up when under attack (viruses, psychedelic drugs) and for up to a century with mostly self-maintainence.
