    Not particularly rigorous.

    Nah, because of the numbers, only 1k people is enough of a sample size for every human.

    It’s exponital increase, not a flat increase…

    1,000 isn’t even close to the minimum, it’s just a nice round number and it’s not difficult to reach.

    It’s easily provable by finding any “sample size calculator” and trying to get it to tell you to go over that mark.

    The standard 5% confidence interval is really what’s at play. But sample size is day 1 stuff, trying to explain it isn’t going to work just play with the calculators and see it’s impossible.
