I think you didn't take the time to fully understand the math. The point of his math was to demonstrate exactly what you said.

That's the problem with math. Unless you put lots of descriptions in it to explain where you get the numbers and what they describe nobody takes the time to follow it.

Cat got the math right but didn't bother to explain in enough depth what those numbers meant and what they showed. And of course no references.
