Sciences have their ratios carved in stone, 
reflecting wisdom and truth...certainly we could 
barely function in science and medicine without 
critical numerical relationships that guide us and 
reassure us in times of uncertainty...

How might this relate to photography  ? 
...well.... I  wonder, if we haven't  by a stroke 
of good fortune tumbled to the concept of the L to 
P ratio.
The L/P ratio,  where L= the # of lenses owned, 
and P = the # of photographs taken... might go 
something like this.... when L/P  exceeds 10,  the 
image quality of each photo  taken  goes up by 
some  constant, for example , by the square of the 
ratio...

we can actually make this work to our advantage 
in two unrelated ways...1. buy more lenses  and 
2. take fewer photographs...

...possibly someone can help me with this, my math 
was never much  good....
