Yet alone they can't do math...
"By comparison, the group’s high water mark lasted only four years, between 1968 and 1972, and comprised four studio records..."
1968-1972 is five years. Simply because 1968 is counted as one. Unless they are ignoring 1970.
Any given point 1968 to same given point in 1969 1yr
Same given point in 69 to same given point 70 1yr
Same given point in 70 to same given point 71 1yr
Same given point in 71 to same given point 72 1yr
Four years

Four years
There was a release in every year, hence 5 years. 1968 was the first year, hencefor, 68 - 1, 69 - 1, 70 - 1, 71 - 1, 72 - 1: 5.

You are not 1 on the day you are born. Four years was the "topic"... Not the number of releases.
68-69 1 yr
69-70 1 yr
70-71 1 yr
71-72 1 yr
Beggars... Dec 68... Can you count that as a year?
Exile ... May 72

Ok, I'll try it this way. Whilst acknowledging you are more a Stones expert than I and who's opinion I almost always agree with...
Recording on Beggars banquet stated in around June 1968, though rehearsals commenced February 21, so go the sake of the creativity argument I will grant the February 21 1968 start.
Jumping Jack Flash was recorded in March 1968.
Final overruns of Exile were finished in LA in February 1972.
So their creative, creative, peak ran from
Last week of Feb 68 through to Feb 69. 1 yr
Feb 69 -Feb 70. 1 yr
Feb 70- Feb 71. 1 yr
Feb 71 - Feb 72. 1 yr
Four years OF creativity, which makes them, and that period of creativity even more staggering.

If you count the year they started working in that span, it was February 68. That's year one (the same with most sports seasons - if a player played from 1980-1988, he played 9 years - the two exceptions being basketball and hockey), that's one year until they started the 1969 LET IT BLEED sessions in February. They recorded in 1970, 1971 and 1972. That's 3 years.
They finished work on EOMS in March of 1972. So in that aspect, it was 5 years.
They had a studio (and one live) release for every year in that span - 1968-1972. That's 5 releases - one a year.
