Although this is a much lower figure
than the number who fled in Syria, most
estimates suggest there are only around a quarter of a million Christians left in Iraq, making the impact of the recent
displacement there so much greater.
However, being a cautious chap, you also entertain the notion that maybe the
displacement of the platform was more
than you thought because the rats were actually fatter
than you thought; that would imply less revision in your
estimate of the stiffness of the spring, but until you get more data on rat fatness, you can't really say.
