Back to an old thread: what's the impact of adding a new children
to a set of children? -- whose answer depends on the cardinality
of the initial set.

Hmmm.... IIRC, I read somewhere [and probably more than 20 years
ago] that the human mind does not understand instinctively any number
above 2.

I think I agree.

Getting out with two children, you *always* know where they are.
You keep a constant track of them. With three or more [today there
were four - niece included] our inconscious mind *always* 
sends messages requiring us to *count* them, in order to 
verify if they are all near.
