It's a technically correct lower bound.
I probably should have used the word sensible instead of
reasonable. "Useful" comes to mind, too, but then we'd have to discuss

really think download numbers are very useful). Perhaps "interesting"
could be used - zero certainly is not an interesting lower bound.
