I agree that my argument isn’t tight. I’m partially going on tacit knowledge that I acquired during graduate school. The figure that I gave is a best guess.
I changed my post accordingly. I’m somewhat puzzled as to why it rubbed people the wrong way (to such a degree that my above comment was downvoted three times.)

I think it’s inappropriate to cite a figure as support for your estimate unless you indicate in some way how that figure affects your estimate.
