For those who somehow think that I am making this stuff up,  read the first bullet under section number 4 of the PDF linked below.   The range Lallemand states for a pitching rate of 1 gram per liter yields a pitching rate of 5 to 10 million cells per milliliter, which is equal to 5 to 10 billion cells per liter.   Lallemand then includes the following language: "A brewer may experiment with the pitching rate to achieve a desired beer style or to suit processing conditions."   Like I said, the correct pitching rate is the one that produces the desired result.

Mark, I personally do not believe that you make this stuff up. You are constantly citing reputable sources. If my mildly sarcastic salt question led you to believe other wise then strike it from the record. It was actually a serious question asked in a not so serious way.
