It was my upper bound estimate, and if anything it was too low.
A pro will grow up in a dedicated go school where there are hundreds of other players just playing go and studying go all day. Some students will be playing speed games, and some will be flipping through summaries of historical games in books/magazines and or on the web.
When not playing, people will tend to walk around and spectate the other games (nowdays this is also trivial to do online). An experienced player can reconstruct some of the move history by just glancing at the board.
So if anything, 27.4 games watched/skimmed/experienced per day is too low for the upper estimate.
