You're confusion is in not taking into account the different probabilities of certain results occuring.
You're assuming that it must be better for there to be a large number of teams that we have a mathematical chance of overtaking, however small that possibility is. I'd say its better for there to be a smaller number of teams, but with a higher probability that we can overtake them
The likelihood of Cas losing at home to Celtic is minimal. There is a much greater likelihood of Quins losing to Cas and beating Wire than there is of Cas losing to Celtic.
If, as seems possible, we fail to qualify by one point, there will be an awful lot of "what if" debates. Early in the season it was argued that we should take encouragement from the closeness of some of our defeats. Now that seems to have been a major achilles heel.
