While I agree with all of your other comments, I disagree with this
one. I think CLL does say something about a hidden "ge'e", but
at least I ignore that, and use "sai" as a free intensifier, intensifying
whatever word it follows, not any hidden "ge'e", similar to the way
"nai" works. (And of course the same goes for the other CAIs.)
For example I use "ji'asai" for "even", "nasai" for something like
"absolutely not", "naru'e" for "almost", "ja'aru'e" for "barely", etc.
So I have no problem with the use of "so'i sai" for "very many".
"so'i so'i" is also quite fine.

OK well this idea does seem potentially more useful than what I was taught. I like it, but I also definitely think it represents a mild breaking of those texts with the other understanding. I thought I'd bring it over here & maybe we could air it out a little more. What other opinions does anyone have about this?
(This is my idea for how we should use these two lists, presenting something approaching a united front to the ninpre while airing our complications and developments slightly more privately. I thought I'd try following my own advice!)
