There was a time when numbers meant strengh.
In the middle ages, a powerful army was a big army in terms of number of soldiers.
Then with the advance of technology, numbers lost their former meaning as one soldier with a superior weapon could kill many enemy soldiers.
This phenomenon peaked during the colonial times (eg. with the British Rule on India).
Now, numbers are starting to have a meaning again as China and India are rising thanks to their large population that generates productivity and wealth.
