His statement is right. 1300 connections are not a lot. I used to have a
symmetric 20 megabytes/second line and the router provided by my ISP would reboot when reaching around 3600 >connections. Happily, they provided FTTH so I was able to put a linux box instead of said router and reach 13k conns.
You are a part of a minuscule group of people who have a 160 mpbs symmetric connection to the home, and the first one I run into in my life. I therefore doubt that your example is relevant to the discussion - almost everybody else on the planet does not have this kind of bandwidth to the home, and cannot saturate a $35 Raspberry Pi with his Tor traffic because their bottleneck is ISP bandwidth, not hardware. Which was my point.
