Well, you ever try to keep track of the distances thrown out during the story? They're not exactly consistent.
I'm talking about the distance of the snakeway.

And you'd be getting this "70% figure from...where, exactly?
You took it seriously, it's just an assumption because Dragon Ball is not using a real world everyday event. To be clear, its a replica of our world but not 100%.
It's a gag manga! It never was nor was it meant to be scientifically sound or accurate.

Dragon Ball was never meant for scientific scrutiny.
Just like there is people who ludicrously try to explain why Superman can fly instead of just saying he is superhero ergo he can fly.

Uh... guys? A kilometer is literally 1,000 meters. They're not Dragonworld units of measurements.

I think you're a bit confused. Nobody said anything about kilometers being fictional DragonBall units of measurement. But they are used throughout DragonBall, and Goodguy's point, I believe, was that the kilometers in DragonBall would presumably be the same as real-world kilometers. My point was that in DragonBall, kilometer distances are simply thrown out randomly, and don't form any sort of coherent framework for the distances involved in the story.
