"you have a temporary effect in one year, and that temporary effect goes away in a later year, then just counting each year will show it added, and then will show it removed later, as the actual measured GDP goes down" is in no way inconsistent with "All counting is irrespective of any previous years" And yes making adjustments back and forth muddies the waters, which is why I argued against it. You introduced the adjustments for temporary changes, only going one way. I pointed out that you have to adjust them both ways (or better yet not at all).
