How? What kind research has proven this "maximum" and "average" values? The math you mention is not a reliable evidence. It is just what has been suggested to people.

> I am finding it difficult to be convinced myself

Well, there is always the book.

> I saw a very convincing documentary on French Channel 5 a while ago on how the US faked the Apollo moon landing

I've seen and read many "proofs" and "refutes" on the topic. There was even a hit rock song on the topic (how did the words go, "if you believe they put a man on the moon, man on the moon, if you believe there's nothing up their sleeves, nothing at all..."

BUT, there is big difference between some edutainment on Channel 5 and a Scientific American sponsored documentary with expert testamonials and actual footage of sperms under microscope.

Consider searching SciAm or looking under mysteries of conception, human reproduction, etc.

BTW, here is a highly recommended tool for searching the internet. I liked the free version enough that I actually bought the higher up version. copernic.com
