Population is a statistical term which means "everything". There is no "next 100".

The 300 number is specifically about very big populations where you're trying to measure something like an average of an unknown variable. It doesn't apply to just anything statistics.

    I meant like births, as in even if you can enumerate every single individual, statistics can apply to future members that don't yet exist.

    And yeah, it's been a while and I remembered that the proof didn't depend on the population size but forgot that it assumed a large population size in the first place. I was wrong.
