I'll tell you if you can tell me how many grains of sand it takes to make a pile of sand, as opposed to a set of individual sand grains.

One is clearly fine. 10,000 is clearly wrong. I'd be willing to say that even 100 is clearly wrong.

But equally clearly, there's isn't a X between 1 and 100 when X is fine and X+1 is wrong.
