I think graph overlap is what actually determines what data is "accurate". There are currently bots writing to the database by people who are not connected and I have yet to see the overlap (since the key space is too large for the number of bots right now). I'm excited to see how that plays out.

I will send you an email :)

As for your question about real world applications: Outpan was only a product database up until last week. It is used in over a hundred apps, some with more than a million users.

I expect this to work on a larger key space as well. It is interesting to see how the expansion works out in terms of usage patterns.
