For a moment lets break down her response word by word like every naysayer does just to be balanced.
LP answered as she laughed:" we're already close to the TOTAL number".
The total number is 348 and you "suggested 325 OR 340".
So she threw out your numbers, more importantly that includes 340 and she was telling you it was greater than 340 but less than 348. If the number was close to your 340 she would have said closer to 340, but she said close to 348 and that means close based on your excellent question and she seemed to welcome the bait rather easily and comfortably a supposed to in the past she may have attempted to shirt a question or two when she was uncomfortable with it...ie to me it means it is on the 348 side and a hair away....with the laugh it could be that she knew she would be hitting it any moment. Today since it its 2 + weeks from that dialogue I believe we are there and she knew they would get there soon after the meeting if not technically already there right after the meeting.
Now the shorts would in this case say we are far from 348 because she said close and close could mean just about any range but you narrowed it with your great question but more importantly she NARROWED IT EVEN FURTHER! How is that for LP giving us a hint......she cares about us too.:)
Me happy with that aspect of the trial at least.
