I do agree with your thought that 75 seems like a fairly high number, but I guess in reality, we didn't get a great look at it. I'll add that until you're sewing, you don't really know the edges and such that might take "another one here or there".

My wife who has done her air share of surgical stitches , she was planing on going into surgery before doing family medicine and still does plenty of lump and bumps clinics seems to think75 seems high as well but it still would be pretty scary thing to go through even if 0 stitches ,after taking a few sticks and skates to the face /half shield I went back to a full cage just wasn’t worth it.
