  1. Since farming drastically favors introverts -- I got off on the wrong foot -- and just assumed that a quiet soul = a farmer. Period. Farming -- as a craft art -- collapsed when extroverts discovered the Big City. THAT'S what drove urbanization. Once ANY other occupation could suffice -- millions of extroverts fled to the Big City. The players left behind, generally, regard the Big City as disgusting. (Too noisy, too crowded, to emotionally cold.) To me, the theorem is over thought: one simply has to keep iterating towards a more knowledgeable understanding. Putting numbers on your progress is petty and silly. You KNOW you don't know. So, your analysis is doomed to be open-ended. In the real world, you'll never obtain the numbers to plug into this theorem, and no-one will really care.
