Thus this likelihood is growing as long as boxes are removed from the 
model. In consequence, it reaches its highest level for 0 box models :=)

Joke aside, it is right to say that a simpler model as more chance to be 
adopted than a complex one.
However I do not agree that the simpler model is this with the less 
classes (boxes).
To me the simplest model is this with less relationships between classes:
- Less inheritance links means less abstraction levels which means less 
headache for the annotaters.
- Less associations means less joins in databases/query and then less 
headaches for everyone.
