    Kudos for the mathematical perspective.

    You should probably take it with a pinch of salt, it’s been forever since I’ve actually done statistics :o) I just remember the 6 sigma certainty thing when I used to study Biochemistry, I may well have applied it wrong here hah.

    Harvesting won’t help from now on, with such a small population, but it likely wasn’t a factor in reducing the population from 6 billion.
