Hmmm, I have to say that I do now see the majority of your points and can't say I disagree, per se. On a note of specifics, however, I'd have to say it's easier to observe cultural interactions (between people and/or a person and society) in larger groups than in smaller. In small groups, as with any statistically oriented data, you do not have a large enough sample group. It's easier to see the down side of canabalism in NYC than it is to see it in a tribe of 60. If you lose 10% from it, 6 is not nearly as terrifying as 6,000 (or whatever 10% of the population of NYC would work out to be... I'm sure it's probably more than that).
Otherwise, yeah... I suppose... ;-)
