I think it's entirely plausible that
most VFR traffic would not already be in contact with ATC, prior to the
point in time at which they decide they need to contact ATC for the purpose
of entering the Class B airspace.

You are correct, but I didn't read it that way. I read it as most VFR
traffic would not be in contact with ATC =as= they enter class B, or
within it.

Better ratchet up that "wrong" counter one more.

Actually I thought I was wrong, but it turned out I was mistaken about
that.
