The number isn't really the point though, if it's the case of a metaphor. The trolly problem is usually set up with 1v5 people, but it's just as arbitrary and hypothetical. The trolly problem could just as easily be set up as 1v100, because the actual number of people on the tracks is to a degree irrelevant to the morality of the question.

This probably isn't any different.
