In your "Increasing population size", you put "Medium, Medium" as more valuable than "Medium", but that doesn't seem to derive from the premises you'd been using so far (apart from the "glue them together" part). I found that surprising, since you seem to go at bigger lengths to justify other things that seem more self-evident to me.
Yeah, maybe things just get worse and worse as you add more people - but uniformly, so that adding another person preserves ordering :P
