If that source  includes the actual emails, as well as the count of emails, we are in luck!

THey may have made a small error...

Excellent.

Yes...
And that's one big reason I want some people who were on CP during that period to show up and agree that "Some things are missing!!!"

Whereas with a real AP system... meaning one that is
accessible to the public masses, and thus obviously
reported on in the media... any mark for reeducation
that starts accumulating satoshis will be quickly aware
of their position on the list... no sane person would
at that point refuse to alter their ways or stand down.
Thus chance of any such force ever being actually
applied is very small, and even if so, in a ratio
lower than any statistically relavant property theft,
damage, abuse, injury, and or death.

Which is why I always believed that with a well-functioning AP system, there will actually be few deaths needed.

Yes, they simply didn't go through the thought necessary to understand how AP would actually operate.
