There's only one number that I'm relatively sure were NOT gathered on the Day of Pentecost....120. The chances of the same number of people gathering twice in completely different gatherings on completely different days are just about nil. I've been pastoring for 12 years and we've never had two straight Sundays with the same number.

Riiiiiight, as you say "there's not even a shred of evidence"
I think it's actually quite clear. Is it explicit? No... but close.
Comparing your congregation's attendance to that of how people celebrated a Jewish festival isn't very "exegetical" now is it!
