It doesn't really matter to be honest. the main point is that Kent saying only 1% of users will experience this is simply not a convincing argument. They haven't offered any data to support this claim, it seems like they just plucked it out of thin air.

Furthermore, even if it is 1% or 0.1% or 0.01% it is still too many, why should -any- users have to suffer degradation of service or loss of service in the case of the infinite loop (which is what Kent was referring to when he said 1%)?
