right
in both the 12nm & the 200nm descriptions
we have mostly only theoretical models
or perhaps presumptive ones
which in any case are usually incomplete
& hard to keep track of besides

indeed it is a phenomenally complicated puzzle to sort everything out
& the true data are often hard & costly to get at

that is why i have been so willing to try to streamline things til now

but of course you are right to hold out & press on for truer truth
