Marsyao, such generalizations don't lead anywhere. Although 'everyone was the same, everyone overclaimed to the same degree' sounds very politically correct, it simply doesn't reflect historical reality. That's why I asked for concrete numbers for concrete time periods, to see if we can collectively analyse them and to realize where we can go from there.
