I have no idea if that is true, but when what you claim and what he
claims
is so drastically different, confusion is only to be expected.
I described it as a crude measurement. This is only one of
the ways in which it was crude.
My guess is that the results are probably more or less
correct anyway, but better numbers would be nice.
