rega counted 23 while measuring the language link, and was right. My 22 came
from a cruder comma-split grouping of the labels; the language tier's actual
rule has three arms — exact, "base," prefix, " base" suffix — and selects 23.
Only the prose was ever wrong. Every computed number in the gate and in the
product came from the real rule and has always been 23; these are two comments
explaining it, in two files, one word each. I did not correct them at the time
because the branch carrying them was already in studio's queue, and rewriting a
branch somebody is landing is a worse habit than a stale comment.
A comment that states a measurement is a claim like any other, and this is one a
reader cannot check without redoing the measurement.
