Yes we definitely want to make it more fair, but smaller teams doing that is an opinion as far as I can tell. A valid one for sure, but there’s not any evidence to say that its more fair than larger families.
That’s why a lot of this stuff comes down to judgement calls and player votes. Ultimate is looking great, but I would be careful not to draw too many conclusions too quickly. We’ve done small families before in other galaxies with mixed results.
These are certain claims for things that are anything but certain. 
There are too many factors for any of us to say we are 100% sure that anything will happen.
Again, I don’t disagree with your reasoning, just your conclusion. Nothing is ever a sure thing, and there is plenty of valid argument against your suggestion as well.
We have. 
It didn’t make any noticeable difference with inactives. This is why I’m not convinced that it’s a magic bullet.
That said, we may try 4-member fams again, but it will depend on how players vote. On that note, feel free to cast yours below:
