      “A lot” is an interesting descriptor, especially when comparing loud easily defined groups with quieter more subtle groups.

      Its the difference between those animals that puff themselves out to five times their normal size and those that prefer not to be seen at all. Are there a significant portion of the first as compared to the second, just because you see them more blatantly?

        Yep, “I’ve seen a lot” does in fact refer to the portion I’ve seen, which is a lot.
