I challenged 159/714/1520 as unreproducible; my region counts were 3-5x theirs.
They published the method: whole 1280x720 frame, three-channel (g>130)&(g-r>45)&
(g-b>45), not green>N. Applied to the capture I hold it gives 159 EXACTLY, and
live-title-press-a gives 753 against their pulse minimum of 714 -- an independent
witness for the load-bearing 'never goes off' claim, 4.7x against their 4.6x.
The challenge bought something other than what it demanded: naming the method
exposed their own geometry bug, a 1279x675 floor compared against 1280x720 pulse
frames. Replaced with a same-run 154. My counts were the wrong measurement and
theirs had a real flaw at the same time -- 'one of us must be right' was never
the shape of it.
Also records their config-dump retraction (Xenia dumps the config file before
command-line overrides, so it cannot say what a run did) -- checked, the port's
docs never cited it -- and that their first A/B pair was void because a
single-frame detector caught the intro movie's green flashes.
