Remark: A counting convention is not an instrument
Outgoing observables, rate normalization, and error bounds › A precise 1/(2π) counting convention · lines 1070–1080
The positive mode-window functional is not asserted to be a sharply localized detector count or a finite measurement instrument. A detector implementation requires a coupling, switching, input class, and error estimate. Those are separate from this asymptotic number-rate normalization.
Equation (eq:rate) is per angular mode. Summing over the real harmonics at fixed introduces that degeneracy. No all- luminosity theorem is asserted here.
