I think that he said the exact number of days that Bashir was captured. But you seem to think that you can figure out the amount of days based on Stardates. If Stardates were sequential and ordinal and moved at a set rate, then you could. But they dont. So you cant. We have no frame of reference for how DS9 stardates move, except that in general on TNG 1000 of them were a year. But seeing as peoples brithdays move around, their kids age exponentially and holidays and anniversarys bounce all over the damn calendar, besides the fact that on DS9 they use 26 hour days rather obnoxiously, how do you think that you can seriously figure that out, just to disprove clear dating evidence they placed right in the episode (the uniform!)

There are so many variations to that that you could never expect to take the stardate of 'Rapture' and the stardate on the Purgatory/Inferno 2 parter and determine the difference in days. I dont know why you think you can.

And if I'm boring you, you can [edit] and go play in the Andromeda thread.. theres no need to be a sarcastic prick.
