My read on that was "increment N" in c-like syntax, i.e. "me too"-ism, where N is the number of people professing an opinion.

Increment N is right, but reference statistics "number of data points".

e.g. "Less Wrong voters value posts which use community passwords and applause lights, P~.85, N=20"
