How about

BECAUSE population is going to go up to 1.5x its current level, worrying about "IF population goes up 100x" is pure fiction, so anything goes.

You can write unRhealistic utopian sci-fi, like Dystopian; or unrealistic dystopian sci-fi, like Rhea, but either way, it is still fiction.

He asserted we could support 100x the current population.

And that assertion, and all of the debate that followed based on that assertion, was off topic speculative fiction.

You're right; I apologize for letting it get out of hand. I'd intended the assertion to basically be; "We could if we wanted to support this ridiculous number of people; so we'll surely be able to support the much less ridiculous number we'll actually be forced to deal with".
