It was half-joking; I don’t actually know how serious you are or how much thought you’ve put into the recommended number of posts. What I meant to imply was that the mention of “20” as a starting point made you pick a higher number as a counter-offer than you would pick if you’d come at the question cleanly.
I meant, he listed 16 articles he wanted to write, and I didn’t remember the exact number but it was around 20, and I thought that was excessive. I figured that 3 would do.
So yeah, I was anchored on what he said he’d do, as a representation of what I was recommending he change from doing. Seems fair.
