I meant that we don't have enough permanent superhump systems. It seems
to me that the scatter of permanent superhump systems from the Stolz &
Schembs relation is not significantly different than that of SU UMa
systems. 

Anyway, I suggest to end this discussion. We disagree about certain
issues. More observations might convince me or you that the other is
right.
