A soup can be sweet, sour, tangy, meaty, bitter, in addition to plenty of other characteristics. >So are you arguing 2 === 120 or are you arguing 2 === 5, but whichever one it is, you're missing the point. It's pretty clear that I'm not arguing either of those (being that I made no mention of cardinality,) but if you want to put words into my mouth, I can see why you'd think I'd be focusing on those kinds of irrelevant details. My point is that the number of samples taken, in and of itself doesn't tell you anything about the significance of a conclusion. You need to know how the sample relates to the population, and how the results characterize the population through the sample.
