You made it to illustrate what a colony may or may not do when a gap was 
made in it's nest structure, it is not a valid statement to make in the 
context of the thread, that is why I called it "a totally erroneous 
example", no malice or flaming involved, the statement itself is true, 
but not relevant to the case under discussion.
