Assuming my numbers were right (I think they were), what I was interested
in is what Andrew accepts, namely:

Andrew is not bothered by this. But since (like Gil) I regard the
"standard values" as giving us the actual embodied labour-times (with no
ambiguity at all in my little static example), I think he ought to be
bothered. He has succeeded in preserving equality between two
magnitudes, but neither of these corresponds to total SNLT.
