No, I'm trying to get across that 128 bits is a LOT.
Give out every 10th address and you still have 31 million addresses
per cubic millimeter. Give out every 1000th address and you still
have 300 000 addresses for every cubic millimeter.
I know some people have trouble comphrehending large numbers, but
really, come on...

You're not making any sense here. IPv6 makes it worse? Now you're
arguing in favor of IPv4?
Yes, bandwidth demand will go up dramatically. Yes, we need route
aggregation. Yes, that's what IPv6 gives us. And yes, there are
enough addresses for it.

This is going nowhere. Do the math and give us an even remotely
plausible
concrete scenario, in which we could run out of IPv6 addresses any time
soon. With the calculations, please.
Just out of curiosity, how many addresses would be enough, in your
opinion?
