gollark: It's probably true that there's *a* maximum size limit, but it isn't obviously 150.
gollark: Wikipedia says:> A replication of Dunbar's analysis with a larger data set and updated comparative statistical methods has challenged Dunbar's number by revealing that the 95% confidence interval around the estimate of maximum human group size is much too large (4–520 and 2–336, respectively) to specify any cognitive limit.
gollark: Dunbar's number is 150, and also a very approximate approximation someone made up.
