I'm glad you brought it up -- I figured it was bad form to do so personally, and was even ashamed of posting the comment you responded to here.
That said, I didn't see Max Klein's response, so I'm quite glad you pointed that out to me, as it was curious; However, I don't feel I was dismissive in the slightest. In light of the correction, I can see how others could view my stance as at odds with reality, but I personally didn't see cause for concern. Again though, my reading / interpretation of the statement was clearly not what was intended, so my logic is predicated upon a fallacy.
I feel I understand it much better now that you've brought it up, because I was honestly dumbfounded at the time.
Still, so as not to betray my Irish stubbornness, it _was_ mathematically correct. ;-)
