One is a number. And as such absolute. It has no comparison

One apple and One banana are relative numbers. You can not compare them.
But you can compare apples with apples!
Let us try results. They can be absolute or relative. Better give the numbers a closer look.

If you have one sale, that is an absolute number. Compared to the number of clicks that is a relative number. It gives you a sense of success.

One sale out of 100 clicks is better than two sales out of 1000 clicks.

So make sure to weigh the relative...
