The point? How do you draw a line from "Fortune 500s use Mongo" to "Mongo is used by competent teams"?

I specifically challenge that you can do so, given a model of a large organization as being necessarily more diverse (regressing to the mean of general competency, more likely to have facts like "org Y uses tech X" being true) and more robust to survive failures as it grows.

We don't have data, but we can still model (if nothing else, to think about what data we would need).
