Not being realistic is not a valid criticism of a theoretical situation if the theoretical situation is not meant to represent reality. I've made no claims of how it carries over to the real world
"Not realistic" isn't my objection here so much as "moving the goalpost". The original post (as I recall it from before the edit), made no claim that there was zero cost in specifying arbitrarily large/specific numbers, nor in participating in arbitrarily large numbers of swaps.
It's been like that from the start. EDIT: I only added in extra clarification.
I certainly make no claims about the perfect quality of my memory. ;)
