Per your footnote 6, I wouldn’t expect that the whole 630-digit number was ever simultaneously in working memory.
How would you like to define “simultaneously in working memory”?
The benefit of an operationalization like the sequential recall task is concreteness and easily tested predictions. I think if we try to talk about the actual information content of the actual memory, we can start to get lost in alternative assumptions. What, exactly, counts as actual working memory?
