    That absolutely highest estimate comes off from someone just riffing apparently, later he corrected it to the more accepted estimate of 2700. Literally just misremembering a number when speaking, I've no idea why it's cited as an estimate lol

      That's still a ridiculous exaggeration. A variety of credible sources put it at about 300.
