Surely one should think of this as a vector in a space with more dimensions than 1.
In your equation you can just 1,000,000x magnitude and it will move in the “positive direction”.
In the real world you can become a billionaire from selling toothbrushes and still be “overtaken” by a guy who wrote one blog post that happened to be real dang good
I made a drawing but lw won’t allow adding it on phone I think

I was thinking something potentially similar. This is super nitpicky, but the better equation would be impact = Magnitude * ||Direction||
