It's funny that it should be you saying this. Vincent is annoyed at you because
it's you that's doing the handwaving in this part of the argument, not the
other way around.

I am saying that your 4.0 number cannot be used as their branching factor
because it is based on search times and ignores the variable of more processors
kickin in. Handwaving doesn't make this problem go away.

I still haven't seen this sufficiently addressed, so I will get some more
data about it myself.
