6. Those are Good Numbers, Yes.

But I have to paraphrase Hilaire Belloc: "They have the Maxim gun, and we have not."

Or, if you'd prefer a more modern observation, may I commend you to the Door: "They got the guns, but we got the numbers."

Curiously, that lyric is from a song entitled "Five to one." The odds have changed in 40 years.
