  The preliminary STAR data for proton cumulants for central collisions at
\sqrt{s}=7.7 GeV are consistent with a two-component proton multiplicity
distribution. We show that this two-component distribution is statistics
friendly in that factorial cumulants of surprisingly high orders may be
extracted with a relatively small number of events. As a consequence the
two-component model can be tested and verified right now with the presently
available STAR data from the first phase of the RHIC beam energy scan.
