I'm with you insofar as I'd prefer slightly fewer, but I have seen some important topics with unique discussions here. I think that's why the guidelines say "probably" instead of making it a bright line.

Even if it's not exactly where I'd set the dial, it's probably a rough average of the community, and the consolation prize is that controversial stories rapidly bury themselves.
