Just proves my theory.
"several handfuls" is the "quantity" requirement for an adequate sample.
To be a "range", we need something like "from 10 to 1,000 handfuls"; or if you would like to explain it as "types", then we need examples of types.
Anyhow, it's up to you. Don't have to agree with me. I think I'm done with it. |
