Thank you! Yeah, I think Dunbar's number has been proven experimentally. Of course I'm probably guilty of applying it too liberally outside of the limited contexts in which the science has proven it (the pitfall of pop psychology/sociology.) But I agree it's super useful and interesting to think about quantifying and enumerating the limits of human capability where possible. Maybe that's somewhere else we differ from the attitudes of the 18th century romantics from TFA.
