Welcome :) I agree with a lot here. One of the takeaways that's stuck with me in the week since I've read it is that five or six people is indeed the upper limit for stimulating conversation -- a conversation with five doesn't have me actively having to wedge into the conversation. I'm not saying that listening is unimportant, it's just that at some point, large group conversations becomes more the group's social dynamics (who is more assertive) than everyone simply sharing great insight without elbowing.
