    It’s more like 6ml (264172/166100000 gallons), and considering the average man produces between 800 and 2000ml per day, that’s like a 0.5% spill rate.

    Also it says nothing about the rate being evenly distributed over the days, it could be that the average guy spills a fraction of a liter in one slip up every couple weeks, not 6ml every single day. Plus the young and elderly likely throw off those averages.

    Lastly, your assumption that most drops go on the pants ignores the whole point of the new design this article is about: the splashback. They claim most of the urine that misses a urinal splashes out in microdroplets.
