To be fair. We assume "months" means less than 2 years. But 10 years can also be "months", and is probably a more realistic timeline.

    Nobody is referring to 10 years as "months".

    When you're talking about multiples of years, it's going to be called years, not months. They were obviously talking about a short timeline, less than 2 years, likely less than 1 year.

    They have no idea what they're talking about.

    Like I said, months is a joke.

    So was what I said. I was presenting a hypothetical way they justify their ridiculous claims by doing something else ridiculous.

    But conveying tone in text is difficult, so I'm not surprised you missed what I was going for.
