Blue Blood and the American Flag

So do you think it might mean our potential as humans is 50 stars unlike Sentry's 1,000,000 star strength?
It'd be kind of radical if our forefathers knew it and left us the message through the flag.

iirc, in the time of the "forefathers" the flag had thirteen stars, signifying the original thirteen colonies. So the cryptic message if any would have been "humans are 13-star powerful".
