Genuinely useful, thank you. I had the facts and not the framework. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.
From the other side of the consultation, briefly. It is worth asking what the claim would look like if it were false. If nothing would look different, it is not a claim about the world and no amount of discussion will settle it.

Can confirm. Same sequence, different timescale. Posting only so the count is not one.

Coming at traveltech_sara’s question from a different direction. Whatever the answer turns out to be, the method for getting there is the same: state the assumption, do the arithmetic in public, and invite the correction. That is slower than asserting, and it is the only version that survives being wrong.
OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.
