No sorry I was just giving you a hard time, haha.

But if they were using engine cycles as their counter for test cycles, then it would still only count once for every two revolutions.

I am sure they durability test their engines for much more than 1 million engine cycles too. If it was idle to full load sweeps as "cycles" then 1 million would be an insanely high amount! Like, a few thousands hours or more...?
