And the underlying point: This whole thread was presented as harsh criticism of a movie production, based on a single phrase spoken in one of the production videos and supported by a tenuous thread of logic. That's really scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to thinking up ways to snipe at the movies.
If it had been presented as "What do you suppose might have been the population of Laketown?" it would have been a whole different story.
You're joking, right? I didn't get that vibe at all from the OP. In fact, reading through this thread has been rather interesting, as this wasn't something I thought about when I watched the movies. Props to the OP for posting it.

As the originator of this thread I can assure you that this is not true at all. No criticism was either intended or implied. You might look towards your own biases. There is no sniping here unless it is coming from you. I just thought that it was an interesting topic.
At least now I understand where your undercurrent of hostility here is coming from!

I really liked the insight on Tolkien and WETA's depiction of Laketown, it was enlightening.
"Is it not a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt for so small a thing? So small a thing! And I have seen it only for an instant in the house of Elrond! Could I not have a sight of it again?"
