I’d love to see some quantification or heuristics for “what is the right number of groups”, or “when is a split justified”. Or the reverse: what’s the cost function for splitting too early or too late?
I object to the framing “take my ball and go home”—at least in voluntary discussion groups a better metaphor is “Keep your ball, enjoy your game—I’m going to play this other game for awhile”.
