By the way here is a varient:
... it just strikes me as puzzling that you would not support such a notion. I think you should consider the following system of equations:
inclusion=good; exclusion=bad
inclusion=small groups; exclusion=large groups
Therefore using the principle of substitution,
small groups=good; large groups=badMy point is just that you can argue most anything with logic. And whatever you want to equate 'good' and 'bad' with you need to justify. Otherwise you are begging the question (which is to say assuming just that which you are setting out to offer a proof of).
