>> 25 links is only going to do you well in searches that produce no more than 2000 results. I see travel sites with 500-3000 inbound links. Even obscure sites need many, many more to rank in the serps. <<

g1smd - I think he's talking about how many pages surfers will click through to find a website. For instance, his 25 results Vs 2000 results, or put it another way - how many pages do you wade through to find what you want. A site with 2000 bits of info/links will surely stand out more than the 25 one.

Many surfers won't go past the first page of results, but although it's a statistic that's unmeasurable, it's got to be taken as a possible fact, as finding stuff quickly is the norm. I wouldn't want to spend 2 hours searching for stuff, when the best results are on the first 3 or 4 pages.
