Micronumerosity

Are there any serious examples of numerosity being used? Micronumerosity was introduced in an econometrics parody cited here:

and taken seriously by the Polish higher education ministry on page 4 of this pdf : https://legislacja.rcl.gov.pl/docs//506/12314504/12525380/12525381/dokument352511.pdf archive, in arguing why research disciplines need to be consolidated into a reduced number so that the number of researchers per "discipline" is high enough to get small sampling error. Unless the decree is modified, astronomy will cease to be administratively recognised as a scientific discipline in Poland. Boud (talk) 23:38, 29 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
