Somehow I missed this.  I've been assuming that, while a large-breasted
woman *may* have a small capacity, it's the small-breasted woman is more
likely to be the one who gets full fast and needs to feed really often, just
because there's less overall volume to the breast, and that the
super-volumes are unlikely to be from the small-breasted women.  Am I wrong
about this?
