It’s worth noting that I wasn’t using it as evidence “for” continuous takeoff. It was instead an example of something which experienced a continuous takeoff that nonetheless was quick relative to the lifespan of a human.
It’s hard to argue that it wasn’t continuous under my definition, since the papers got gradually and predictably better. Perhaps there was an initial discontinuity in 2014 when it first became a target? Regardless, I’m not arguing that this is a good model for AGI development.

Yes—the part that I was doubting is that it provides evidence for relatively quick takeoff.
