Re: # of members ?
As in any act of speculation, the speculator must consider that there may be something else happening that s/he does not understand.
Not that you should leave it alone, go ahead and poke at it. Hypothesize, experiment, publish, play with wooden blocks!
There are some things in this reality that we have only a limited ability to perceive. The studies of history, psychoanalysis (and psychology to a lesser degree), and astrophysics require some amount of assumption and intuition. Someday maybe we'll be able to clearly perceive and test with all three. Someday maybe we'll cure halitosis. And someday I might find a girl who is both fun and a suitable wife/mother-of-my-children. But for now we're just doing what we can (which isn't so bad: humans kick aft!).
