Hi Andrew,
I took A look at what I wrote and you are right, well sort of ;)
While each introduction has a chance at sucess, the chance is
cumulative. Let me explain what I mean. If a single pair is let loose,
one orboth could be eaten, fall ill, or a miriad of other "things" could
happen to them. Now if a hundred pairs were released what are the
chances of survival? I think that with each pair the chances go up over
all. It's like the lottery, buy one ticket, your chances are what they
are (not real great). But, if you buy many tickets, the chances of any
one of those tickets wining have not changed, but the chances of owning
the wining ticket is much higher.
