Well, you know, when the chances of a phenomenon happening are infinitesimal for the purposes of your current study, it not happening is part of the hypotesis zero. A cow could jump to the moon through a quantum tunneling fluke, but you don't debate the assumption that it won't when studying their behaviour :) In the same way I wouldn't see the need to question the assumption that adding enough users to an existing base will expand its demographic composition. The probabilities that it won't are exponentially small.

All the fancy words don't make your point more valid , for the sake of ease of communication please dumb it down a bit :) .One of your problems is the assumption that the demographic has to diversify as it becomes larger , it's possible that the demographic doesn't change one bit and like you clearly explained it's possible but so improbable it's not worth discussing.
But what if the demographic only marginaly diversifies as it expands ? this may very well be the case with the 360 or the PS3 , your argument makes it apear as if there is only Yes and No , On and off but there is a range of possibilities here.
