I think that 74 million figure demonstrates that not only have they pondered the question, but they’ve reached a definitive conclusion on the thought and did some research to get an exact number for you. Any further questions?
As long as there’s stuff not being acknowledged there will always be questions.
You guys haven’t considered the size of the problem. What’s more, you’re afraid to. Because numbers aren’t spinnable. You say a number, you can be wrong, right, high, low, etc. Numbers put you somewhere, bring new information to light.
Numbers are falsifiable. Which is incompatible with the nature of this kind of talk. It’s not about describing reality. It’s about pushing a narrative.
Numbers don’t really matter in fiction. It doesn’t push a narrative forward.
Asking about numbers is a way of saying “Do you consider this a real problem, or is it just a fun fantasy to give your actions justification?”

Have you even considered the question?
