Hence, the qualifier when claiming a specific number according to TPS would be X "known".

In regards to the statistics in THE PARKER STORY the numbers given reflect the actual information taken from the Stock and Order Books that were available to
us. A mathematical formula was derived by Charlie Price (a computer engineer)
to include grades, gauges, etc. from the missing books. Information/statistics
in the Books immediately before and after missing records were taken into account to derive the final count. While that is not an exact science it projected
a number as close to reality as possible. Having said all this I recall a statement
made by the late Jack Puglisi: " In the final analysis the gun has to speak for
itself."
