I am inclined to put it this way: there is evidence that 100,000 (and perhaps more) marched down Pennsylvania. The true number may be higher, but I’ve not been privy to the evidence. People throwing around huge values like 1/2 million, with only this figure as evidence, are disconnected from reality.
Look here for a discussion of methodology.

I think he’s overestimating because of the density. Overhead shots, except where the marchers massed suggests low density…perhaps because of instruction? From side angle shots or even shots made from an angle from a building top this would produce an inflation effect. But the overhead shots from directly above and some of the close up crowd shots suggest low densities (certainly not person/5-6 ft^2 which is actually about maximum for a march given stride length…anything less and people would be tripping on each other).
