I don't propose to measure it, I don't really have a lot of interest in the issue.

I'm also not making a no mechanism claim.

I'm pointing out that the magnitude you stated is insufficient information to draw any sort of conclusion. You (apparently) want people to be alarmed at a large number. A large number is not a good reason to be alarmed. A large number coupled with an explanatory model as to the effects that the large number can have might be a reason to be alarmed, but the number itself just has a lot of zeros.
