Yeah, I'll have to admit that even as I was posting it, it occured that the
assumption seemed to be people who weighed 120 pounds. Maybe 8,000 people
is an initial establishment population, and 10,000 is just the long-term

they were perhaps either anticipating that the colony would be built by
and occupied by Indians;

Or they assumed lots of women and children and did not predict
America's growth of girth.
