If you make it to ~Y2475 intact, you can really inflict some damage.

IMO that's not valid even for a 4% HE. Assuming 7.4% achieved growth (my best with 3-imune 4% HE at turn 50) that HE would have about 11M pop. That's only 22 full planets, or 44 planets at 50% pop. I had more pop with non-immune races in real games at turn 50.

I think you are missing something Iztok. I am taking this from real game experience. I'll see if I can dig up one of my 4% HE games where I won.
If IIRC, the Huge game I played a 4% HE, everyone quit in the early 2500's, because I had more nubs than all the remaining players combined. I remember that game specifically because:
1. I had a extremely difficult time finding anyone to tech trade with for the entire game, and eventually gave up looking after I was called a liar at around 2460? From my memory, I advertised to one neighbor all my tech, asking for trades, and his response was something along the lines of "Bullsh*t, I am allied with the #1 player, and even he doesn't have that good of tech".
2. I was considered insignificant for the first 65 years, as I only grabbed 30-40? planets, all close to my HW. I played some of my best diplo, and for some reason no one considered me a threat.
3. I wiped out a neighboring race, essentially doubling my space (actually more space than I could use right away). This alerted several neighbors that I was not a warm fuzzy race, and IIRC, 5 races declared war on me. After some good border fights, I had eliminated most of the enemy fleets attacking me, and was expanding as explosively as a 4% HE can grow.
Not sure why you think I am wrong...
