But it does speak to a larger truth, namely in this case that the Hac was usually empty for much of its first three or four years of existence, and it does it in a neat expository way, even if it's not gospel (and ironically, I'm told that in truth gig nights were the few occasions the venue was busy between 82 and 85).
