Of course, you guys are assuming that having talents is an unmitigated blessing. One of the major themes in the book is that it can be pretty damned crappy to have all those super powers. Several of the talents went mad, and others probably should have. For example, the Chinese talent who became permanently insubstantial and could never again touch another person. Additionally, most of these talents never made it home.

And if the most talents=one true way statement is true, then that means that the Germans had the one true way. They had the most talents.
