What day is that PD ?
Not clear yet.
It will take place on Sunday and it should be either PD 14 or PD 15, it depends if there will be a PD on Saturday or not.

Python:
p "Say, Do you have any plans for Sunday?"

s "Sunday? Um..."
s "No, I don't think so. Why?"

p "Do you remember my friend Zoey? The one I was telling you about on the way back from the airport? You know, the young horse breeder who lives with her husband on a ranch about 40 miles from the city."
p "We got our Shetland ponies, and two American Thoroughbreds from them."

s "Vaguely."
s "So, What about her?"

p "Have you ever ridden before?"
p "And when I say ridden, I don't mean guys! *chuckle*"

s "I know what you mean and... No, I actually never have."

p "Then it's high time for that!"
p "She invited me to come over on Sunday. We're gonna take a ride out, and see nature."
p "If you're up for it, you can come with me."

s "Oh, that sounds like fun! Yeah, sure!"
s "A trip out to see nature always sounds good!"

p "Great!"
p "I'll pick you up Sunday morning, and we'll drive up to her ranch."
p "And, I'll give you a call the day before too!"

That's not true. I understand what you mean. But painter in particular is a bad example. There are many paintings in which one can prove that they have been painted over or changed many times. The "Mona Lisa" is an exceptional example. Loeonardo da Vinci changed the details again and again until the end of his life. Although I definitely don't want to see L&P compared to Leonardo!
I suppose you're right - for something to be true it must always be true and as you demonstrate, my inclusion of painting doesn't hold in many cases. I guess I was thinking more in contemporary terms: artists who rely on the gallery system and actual sales. A showing/exhibition is scheduled months and months in advance but the work has to be ready to sell on opening night.

The da Vinci example is probably exactly apt for L&P: da Vinci was patronized by the de Medici family for most of his early years, and later moved to Milan (another patron but I forget who, landed nobility I'm sure). He had income, support, and more or less free reign to pursue his artistic interests. (I know patrons would commission [demand] specific paintings as well, so let's not pick it apart completely)

So under that light and with L&P's latest diatribe fresh in the mind, looks like we're all stuck with this totally fucked production schedule.

Either way, the fact that he wants to tell a story the way he likes doesn't explain the amount of renders.
L&P reached 65% on March 20. Aiden event is supposed to have 20%, up from 65% to 85%.
IMO, he started Aiden event on March 20, if he created 10 renders/day we would get 11+18=29x10=290 renders.
So, the average is very low, no point in creating and deleting scenes because it's just a waste of time. Better to take a day off, write the text, sketch the scenes and then DAZ.
I would like to add to your statement. I have no doubt whatsoever that in L&P's perfectionism and process that 2x - 3x more renders are generated than what makes the cut. Keeping in mind your averaging observations, if the update was to have say 800, it would be likely that at the very minimum 1600 in his process would be generated from we can logic out. More complications and challenges he has just means more trial and error IMO. Your math shows that L&P got lost in the weeds during this update and has a HUGE opportunity to learn from it and adjust. Just an observation.

Don't forget Leonardo da Vinci never finished his commissions, or rarely did. Just a thought.
