Hawk,
There are full reversals and partial excursions. From all that I have read on the subject, it's the partial excursions that occur every 12,000 years. I would think that a full reversal would hit during one of those events so would fall on a 12,000 year marker. Partial excursions come in a range of extremity.
It does smack of overstatement to characterize partial excursions as reversals but that's one of those details to pin down. Thanks for bringing it up.
It's also a bit misleading for the mainstream to omit the partial excursion data and focus only on full reversals.

For example there is what is referred to as the Mono Lake "reversal" of approx 23,000 yrs ago.

The Laschamp is said to be dated "around 40,000 years ago". I do not know what +/- error is associated with that bit it could conceivably be 10%.

So a +/- 10% applied to Mono Lake and Laschamp could put them both "on cycle".

Dating of these things is not as precise as you or I would like. Another detail to pin down.
