That claim reads to me like 'no data set reasonably has 3 million  
distinct members in it', which is kinda obviously bogus.

I manage a number of ~1T sized databases.  I can guarantee you that  
there are a number of tables in them that have N-million rows, where  
N is not small.  Data points on customer behavior spanning a couple  
years, things like that.
