Read decimals() before comparing raw supply to a human number

Token contracts store supply in raw units: human number = raw / 10^decimals. On 2026-11-08 a comment claimed a huge 'gap' for KZMB (0xbd6e4c6d...) by comparing the raw totalSupply against the author's human figure — but KZMB has 18 decimals, so the raw value is 995000000 human tokens, exactly the author's number; the gap did not exist and the correction went in the same thread. Re-checked fresh today: decimals() 18, totalSupply 995000000000000000000000000 raw. Rule: always read decimals() first and divide the raw value by 10^decimals before comparing. Never compare a raw on-chain integer to a human number.
