You are right. But I deliberately kept this simple. I know I'm technically incorrect. My initial version had a whole paragraph on this. Then I moved it to a footnote. Then scrapped it entirely. It matters exactly nothing for the point of the post. It's entirely irrelevant for the story. I know that "technically correct is the best kind of correct". And you are technically entirely correct here. But it still doesn't matter.
