Including monthly is not unnecessary, it makes it mean something completely different than “double after 5 years”. As the other comment(s) should have indicated. So if that was what you wanted to say, then it was simply wrong to include it, not unnecessary.
Wasn’t my comment, you can just sorta think “huh, that doesn’t make sense” and clearly some people will post smug comments and some will think “oh, they probably meant this perfectly reasonable alternative”.
True, it is easy to fall into the “no time left to think about something else” when trying to disprove someone. Kind of like not thinking about the pink elephant when someone mentions it. Your meta analysis is spot on and I am honestly sorry that I am this way. I constantly look for errors in everything.
