Suppose 5% of people want to talk about something 50% find it offencive 
and 45% don't care? Odds are not every person in that 5% is connected to 
everyone else in that 5% without going through someone in the 50%! And 
even if they can through those in the 45%, this clearly implies the 
network cannot split. So how will routing work for each of these three 
groups?
