Why are the minimum quorums so large?

How do I answer this objection to crunching WCG?

. . . a project that can afford a minimum quorum of 15 for a task is simply demonstrating that it got way enough crunching power..


I remember seeing something in the Q&A's about this, but can't find it now.

Re: Why are the minimum quorums so large?

Right on the Result Status page it says: "The large number of copies sent out for this workunit is due to the unique nature of this project. We encourage you to read the FAQs about this project for more information."

Looking in the FAQs, there is an in-depth explanation here: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/printpost?post=102255

Short version:
Each work unit is unique. We have zero redundancy!

(For that project, anyway. Other projects vary.)
