It can only become generous or stingy if we assign some meaningful value to the statistic. If somebody comes along and claims that 150 miles approximates a city's "sphere of influence", for example, then that would be a topic of debate. But so far, I don't think anyone has done that.
Then what does "footprint" mean?

Common man, you are a statistics/maps guy like myself. 150 miles is a bit strange...why not make it 500 miles while we're at it...

Anyway, I'm done with this shit, have fun. This forum is beyond redemption, I've got better things to do...
