Yeah... I'm in agreement about that's probably what is going on...
It's relatively small, but absolutely large, and absolute numbers
matter. 5 domains is small, 50k is not, even if Netsol has a 100
billion domains.
If I had 50,000 fingers; I might think differently. But the
definition of a large number doesn't change to people, just because
you also have a massive number of that thing.
The phrase "a small number" means an absolutely small number, so it
seems like a really really misleading if not possibly dishonest PR
spin; they could have said "a small proportion" or "a relatively
small number", in that case.
