There are two issues.  First, in order to figure out whether "we can 
operate in this quandrant at all", you're of course correct that we need 
to understand the details to some reasonable degree.  But I think there 
is another question that is nagging at each step, which is what 
precisely are the scaling characteristics that we are targeting?  If we 
disagree on those points we will surely disagree on the different 
proposals that make differing assumptions.  And so it's probably not 
unwise to question, for instance, the number of mappings needed.  Now 
seems like a good time for that.
