Yeah, but you did it by botching your own swag. It was clearly wrong in your post.
If minutiae matters, it matters. Being off by 60 million seems a pretty big miss for someone picking on Edd for a figure of speech.
As wrong as Edd considering "100,000" "half the population of Seoul". And then you go on picking on me for just playing along that same figure of speech.
If minutiae matters, it matters to read why whole comment stating very
clearly that, even as a metaphor, it does not make sense to make of 100,000 gathering a more extraordinary event than rush hours in any major developed Western or Eastern city, or just any club or entertainment venue, in which supposedly very adult people must be, always according to Edd's worldview, the supposedly adults "must be starved for social contact".
What was indeed different, and I am sure you will ignore this and focus on the previous paragraph, is the gathering in very narrow alleys and yet, again, that has been happening all the time in our century of the masses, and not just in religious mass gatherings in India.
^ADD TO THE ABOVE:
: the inauguration of a new building, a market, or the street attendance of a festival like Book and Lovers Day on April 23 in BCn, before the city hall decided that people could not just be kept being packed in very narrow streets, or even wider ones, in old downtown areas.
Along with racism or inequality, mass management (not just people, its extension to the logistics involved in and related to their daily lives, from deliveries to social mandates like, say, mass vaccination) will be the issue of the new century... and I always assumed that the solution will come rather "naturally", with people avoiding "herding" themselves in their daily life choices.
... even as a joke
