Sam, I love the advocacy here; keep it up. But the Chenoweth and Stepan curve only approaches a quadratic over a narrow range -- instead of motivating people with "100X people = 10,000 X effect", it should be more about getting to the part of the curve where the gain is disproportionate.
The entire curve shows a 9-91% range over <1 order of magnitude. This is a hallmark of twofold cooperativity. I only showed the foot of the curve because it is easier for nontechnical persons to understand.

That’s not quite correct.
