Do you agree with the idea of a monkeysphere (Dunbar's Number)

This concept has been rattling around in my head ever since I read an article on Cracked.com titled, What Is The Monkeysphere?, wikipedia’s article on Dunbar’s Number and Malcolm Gladwell’s, The Tipping Point.
The concept is this: we have a theoretically finite number of people we can care about due to our brain size.
This relates to this question posted here on whether you can care if you are not directly effected.
Do you agree with this concept? Do you think the upper limit of the number of people you can really care about is 150 to 230 people?
