The technicalities of you horse racing people. November 2007 to November 2010 does not 4 years make. It's like stating the period of time between December 31st 2010 and January 1st 2011 will be 2 years because, December 31st took place in 2010 and January 1st took place in 2011, that's '10 and '11, therefore it's two years.

This is, quite possibly, the silliest argument in semantics I've ever seen.
