The upper bound is unimportant because we're talking about participation. But your statement, whether you like it or not, introduces a lower limit. >The same logic is for mate. > >The fact that the program found that there is a mate in at most 5 moves proves >that there is a mate in at most 6 moves but does not prove if there is or there >is not a mate in 4 moves or less than 4 moves. That isn't a relevant comparison because of your statement. The interpretation about less than five participants is clear, so the mate argument doesn't really help all that much. Because you _did_ imply that threads with less than 5 participants shouldn't be allowed by saying that 5 or more should be allowed. There's only allowed or not allowed. Nothing inbetween.
