It’s a toy example but doesn’t it still apply if you have an estimate of the expected distribution of instances that will actually be implemented within mind space? The space of possible minds is vast, but the vast majority of those minds will not be implemented (or extremely less often). The math would be much more difficult but couldn’t you still estimate it in principle? I don’t think your criticism actually applies.
