You're quite right. According to Princeton's it is:

a) superiority in power or influence; "the preponderance of good over evil"; "the preponderance of wealth and power"
b) a superiority in numbers or amount; "a preponderance of evidence against the defendant"
c) exceeding in heaviness; having greater weight; "the least preponderance in either pan will unbalance the scale"

Perhaps "wondering" could be used as a noun instead? There really must be a word out there somewhere that means "a matter to ponder."

And hurrah for your "stealth geek" friend! I figure that there are more stealth geeks now than ever, due to the pop-culture influence on fantasy/sci-fi and vice versa.
