[R-meta] sd of blups vs tau in RE model

 Thanks for your clarification. Your explanations are very clear.
Actually, the SD of BLUPs and tau will converge when the within-study
replicates are getting large.

Can you say more about this? Is this claim based on simulations or
something? I see the intuition, but it also seems like this property might
depend not only on the within-study replicates all being large, but also on
their _relative_ sizes.
