Dunbar’s number needs to be retired as a concept. It’s turned into a meaningless trope under conditions of modernity. It’s not a meaningful social scaling breakpoint for anything in practice, and hasn’t been since the invention of agriculture and archetype based storytelling.

For sure, and I think you would. Every made man has the "red button" effectively (i.e. FBI informant). Although maybe should be tracking one's enemies as well. I only noticed it anecdotally, while researching mob's, some years back. "Associates" seemed ~2000, kinda Dunbar.
