hi,

hmm...

Was there any research on what order of magnitude a and b have? I guess b

but what would be the unit of measurement? Also, per analogiam: new
cameras' resolution is improving from year to year. When exactly should it
stop?  There's no easy answer, because all depends on how much you think
you should be able to magnify a picture without pixelization.

I'd say that for all practical purposes Wikipedia will be saturated when
the vast majority of searches is covered, and users find abundance of
information for whatever topic they research, and this information is given
to them at the exact level of sophistication they're ready to comprehend.
We're waaay far from this ideal.

best,

dariusz
