it was talked about the number of witnesses that you can vote, not the number of witnesses. the idea is that you can't vote for 17 witnesses (supermajority) with your one account. the number of witnesses needed to make a hard fork would still be 17 but you would be able to vote less than 17 so 1 big account can't decide.

Okay now that kind of makes sense, when listening to the over talk and all the different numbers it sounded like at times they wanted to reduce the numbers of the consensus witnesses.
