That's exactly the kind of thing
that is the problem, pulling sphincter
estimates rather than tracing the actual
numbers; pretending to be able to say
how and why everyone died and ignoring
new information that does not fit in
with a precious theory. Reality is more
complex than armchair estimates.

The point of my supposition is that the exact number of indians
murdered by the land grab enshrined beneath the banner of "Manifest
Destiny" is IRRELEVANT.
Unless you are prepared to say that the US government did not
consciously plan and carry out the removal of Native Americans from
their lands, by whatever means necessary including mass
extermination, then all your talk of numbers is evasive BS. And,
despite your denial, your position is a rather obvious and obscene
attempt to justify genocide.
