That doesn't make any sense as a tautology to me. I mean you can have a 50,000 person 3-hour concert. What do 5000 con attendees need that "doesn't fit" in 3-days? You can give them _fewer_ events and programming than Arisia has now, and everyone would still be happy:

"Did you think there was less programming this year?"

"I'm not sure, maybe, I didn't get to any..."

"Yeah, me either. Lookit my corset!"
