| Message | We think the current algorrhythm is more proportional, mainly bacause it uses the adjective 'small' rather than 'considerable'. We're also not sure such a specific number aids clarity of relative influence. It's far better to have a more round number...500, for example. |

| Message | It is less equal to give considerable advantage to the underpopulated than it is to give small advantage to the populated. We refute your suggestion. |
